  • What is Google suggest or google autocomplete

    It is an algorithmic method developed by google in late 2008 that shows useful related queries when one start typing on the google search box.

    An example

    Google suggest which is know known as google autocomplete was first brought into use by google for general public use was in the year 2009 and that too for only two privileged country in the world i.e USA & Germany. Few years later it was introduced throughout the world to enable google user reach result faster without writing for a new search.But now auto complete has become more advance as now a days it suggest not only words but also many complex sentence also.

    How does it function? The whole mechanism is works on a technology based on javascript that enables search engine to communicate with the server before the whole word is completed. This java mechanism is called AJAX . It was first developed for faster communication between web application and server but google stated it using in its search engine.Ajax transfers our data to the server which enables google to predict what we are searching as it transfers our location,country,city & previous searches that we had done also.

    What type of data does it uses for giving suggestions? 1) Search frequency- Means how often a particular word,phrase, combination of phrases or words are successively searched. 2) Search patterns or search behavior- means it analyse data of past searches done before giving suggestions. 3) Search location- Google by accessing the location takes into account the wholesome behavior of a person and this enables ajax to successfully predict and provide relevant suggestions.

  • No Google for Australia

    Recently Australian government has proposed to pass a law that would make Google and Facebook to negotiate payments with local publishers and broadcasters for content. The media code further have a clause that if they can’t strike a deal a government appointed arbitrator will decide the price.


    Tech giant google seems unhappy with this law and announced on Friday that it will disable google search in Australia if the government proceeds with this media code as it would force Google and Facebook to pay local media companies for sharing their content. The managing director for Australia and New Zealand, Mel Silva said to a senate commitee that the arbitration model of the code has biased criteria and it presents unmanageable financial and operational risks for Google. If this law comes into force we have no other option but to stop the availability of Google Search in Australia.


    Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said “We don’t respond to threat” when asked about Google’s warning. Peter Lewis, director of Australia Institute’s center for responsible Technology, has said “Google’s testimony is a part of a pattern of threatening behavior that is chilling for anyone who values our democracy“.

    Government of United States of America also asked Australia to scrap this law.
