Google continues to incremental improvements to make the Web search and therefore instant search in 2010 added. For better or worse the accompanying search suggestions can be disabled. This list is intended to save time, but there are also some notes on what other people are looking for.

There's something about the approach I used my Google's search suggestion data clearly unscientific. I have a new installation in a VM use Google, but perhaps what I would have started learning, sought to influence the subsequent proposals. I also left out some more mundane or irrelevant results.

What actually beat the proposals? I'm not sure. What is the algorithm are your usual narrow Dicklippiger even in the Google devs. The only thing that is certain is that this is what Google algorithm thinks that people be expected to continue.

To find the most obvious thing is "Linux" (without quotation marks), and suggestions of "Mint", "Commands", "search" and "Distribution" resulted in.

The first one surprised me a little like mint by far that is most popular Linux distribution. A little go further and actually typing "Mint", produced "debian", "Vs Ubuntu", "Download", would expect one each in accordance with what "Forums", "9" and "10",. Note that I have more than Tickle four proposals contained in the search box by an extra space to produce the keywords to some alternatives could. If necessary, add an "s" as a plural marker, some additional results produced.

Find me also confused. It is quite common, but I was surprised that it was one of the four proposals. I suspect that Googlesuche adds a random factor or considered account of current trends, when the proposals are designed. Sure enough, results nine of the first ten for this combination, in connection with the activity to find out about Linux, rather than the command.

After the distro branch produces generally expected results "Comparison", "Chooser", "List" and "Comparison 2010". I'll be the keyword "Chooser" in the future to consider for SEO optimization.

Adding Ubuntu produces no real surprises. Always looking for controversy tried I add the term "Problem" with a few small variations. This excavated "with NVIDIA", "Booting", "suspend", "with wireless", "Installation", "Flash" and "flash Ubuntu problems". Input "Ubuntu-driver" produced "Wireless", "for wireless card", "for the Dell" and "hp".

Always a bit more specific, I tried "Linux chrome". The proposals were "flash", "Java", "Pdf", "Plugins folder". Once again the importance of flash support for most users emphasized the results.

How about some Linux people? Search for Mark Shuttleworth produced "Blog" "Unity" and "Girlfriend", "twitter". I have two suggestions for the final result. First, in the past Shutteworth one scored some interesting but vague comments about lifestyle aspirations, the challenge of traditional, family oriented goals in life for men. Secondly, it is relatively young, he is successful, and he has traveled in space. No doubt, must have asked a lonely she geek many if it is available. As expected, produces a search nothing under my own name like.

Richard Stallman's place in the history of open source software is safe, but he draws fans and critics alike. Google suggests that people who interested can consider tightening their search parameters by adding "is an idiot", "Xkcd", "Swords" or "Quotes". People want quotes from the great man, although some think he is an idiot. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to find the xkcd and "Swords" connection.

Linus Torvalds? Yawn, yawn. "Quotes", "Blog", "C++" and "Biography" are proposals. On the one hand, search masses of people not to evidence, he an idiot, but then nobody wants know whether he has a girlfriend. She is the breaks, Linus...
