Show me. I've tried this before and it's been equivalent on both sides.

It was during the election. I doubt its the same now. But right around a year ago you could type each letter up to "crooked hillar" and it would give you suggestions but none of them "crooked hillary" but even worse. When you got all the way to "crooked hillar" it would offer no suggestions at all. It completely refused to suggest the phrase crooked hillary no matter what.

I tested this on multiple accounts and while logged out.

And at the time crooked hillary was an excessively popular phrase and when you typed it in manually since google wouldnt suggest it, many very popular results came back containing the phrase in their headlines. And yet still it refused to auto complete that phrase.

Its just one small piece of manipulation. But in an information network the size of google. Things like that could have very meaningful impact when added up.
