Google edits out "Obama bowing" search

I decided to check Google to see how much reporting had taken place on Obama's bow to the Saudi King.

Google has a feature that will pre-fill a drop-down menu based on what you type. For example, when I typed the letters O and b, it started listing various Obama topics. As I typed out O-b-a-m-a b-o-w, the drop down menu listed "Obama bowling". I continued to spell out the word "bowing" and the menu selection remained "Obama bowling".

So I clicked on my original selection "Obama bowing" and clicked "Images". There is not a single image of Obama bowing to the Saudi King on Google. There are various photos of Obama bowing his head to pray, along with other miscellaneous photos of Obama.

Then I clicked on "Web" to see what stories were posted about this episode. The only stories listed by Google are all from blogs, which means one of two things - either there are NO stories from any news organization other than blogs, or Google is not listing them.

I got it on google. msnbc has an article.

Do you have a link to the MSNBC article? I searched Google news, and I didn't find such an article. The closest that I could find were some comments about the bow which were posted as replies to some MSNBC articles.

Thanks in advance...

It may take a while for trends to get into suggestions

Bush kissing Abdullah works! Must be a conspiracy! Think it will take a bit until it will start to autofill.

More hysterical ravings from someone who can’t use The Google. Because you can’t use it, it must be a conspiracy!

I use the googlw tool bar and I found what you mean: it will not suggest ‘obama bowing’ — interesting.
I did find some stories though.

I didn’t use “Obama bowing Saudi” and I should have. My mistake.

No, not hysterical rantings. Just an observation. I didn’t put in as much info as some others did. My mistake.

Gee, it couldn’t have anything to do with Eric Schmidt the CEO of Google attending one of the Bilderberger meetings. I do not believe in this whole one world conspiracy the media keeps talking about. Even if the media says its true it still can not be true. Hold on I have a call coming in from the ghost of George Orwell.

Actually, your search keywords were weak.

Do you know about weighting and such? How search engines work?

Click on video at the top. You'll find a clip from "Mosquewatch" ...

... which sounds like Bigfoot's Arab cousin.

I just tried “Obama bowing” and “Obama bows”.

It doesn't appear to be edited.

Yep - that’s what I’ve learned from this thread. I thought the broader the search the better, but narrowing the search is more effective. Thanks.
