Looking for the best location to celebrate a honeymoon or maybe the best destination for solo travelers? You Googled, and we answered.
It’s hard to imagine our lives without search engines, the vast and diverse knowledge base that we tap into on a daily basis with just a few clicks via our smartphones, laptops, or through voice commands via Siri or Alexa.
“Should I invest in Bitcoin”
“Can I fly without a passport”
“Why is my goldfish swimming upside-down?”
No matter how specific, vague, or unusual your query might be, Google, the undisputed champ of the search engine world, can help you find the information you seek.
And in 2008, Google made searching via their platform even faster and easier with the launch of Google Suggest, a feature that offers clickable search suggestions to users before they’ve even finished typing.
If you’re not sure what we mean, type “is it impossible to” into Google right now and look for the list of autocomplete suggestions that appear below the search box.
According to Google, the feature saves its users more than 200 years’ worth of typing time per day, reducing typing on their search platform overall by 25 percent.
But how exactly does a search phrase claim it’s space on Google Suggest? Primarily, it comes down to popularity, as in how many other Google users have previously searched the same query.
Suggestions are also selected based on a user’s location, language, and previous searches. The algorithm that determines Google’s suggestions runs constantly, keeping the company up to date with new search trends, current events, and seasonal events.
We set our browser location to the United States and typed “best destinations for” into Google, carefully researching up-to-date information for each autocomplete query.
