Google Suggest Beta

Google Suggest Beta is a search tool I have mentioned before on this blog. It is a replacement for your standard Google homepage, the only difference being that as you type your search terms, Google provides a real-time list of suggestions along with a result total for each listing.

Interestingly, if I type "www," the first suggestion Google offers is actually "www.yahoo.com" which is pretty odd considering that this is Google's service.

This might show that google means it when they say that they simply write their algorithms to maximize customers' utility, and not to favor some and disadvantage others. My guess is that yahoo is the most-visited website, followed by the list. The strange thing is that www.irs.gov shows up on that list; I suppose no algorithm is perfect.
