    So why doesn't it autofill? It AutoFills for Reagan. This is batshit crazy to basically anyone who isn't far left. Wonder how you would feel if it was the other way around. Think we all know the answer to that.

    I just checked. 'Assassination attempt T' gets you a bunch of Trump stories. 'Assassination attempt Tru' gets you a bunch of Trump stories. But 'assassination attempt T' doesn't.
    Is that the conspiracy that's trying to interfere with the election?

    So your answer is no big deal? Then why suppress it? Oh, we don't want people reading about assassinations? Then why post stores on other assassination attempts? This doesn't pass the smell test at all. All it does is make people in the middle question the legitimacy of the MSM.

    I don't know how or why it works like it does. I suppose I should read the stories about that. But it appears that a bunch of combinations gives you a ton of Trump stories, but one ('assassination attempt tr') doesn't. And that means the news is being suppressed? That it's really difficult to find any news about it?

    Wait, this whole thing is about the auto fill? I could see being upset if you searched the whole phrase and got no results. I searched "Trump assassination attempt" and got tons of info.

    Yeah, i had to type in all the letters of trump’s name. I don’t know what i would do with all the extra time on my hands if i only had to type tr instead of trump.

    Yeah. Google clearly set some kind of limits on the autofill that doesn't allow autofill on active politicians and the word assassination. Can't do Trump, Biden, Harris Or Pence according to the few seconds I spent trying. Even if you literally spell it all out minus the last letter. That's how you know it's programmed that way and not a conspiracy.

    You realize both the articles that show up when you Google Trump in your images are general election updates, meaning they mentioned Donald Trump. That's why they are there. But hey everything is a conspiracy

    I searched "Donald Trump" and at the top in the "news" section it said Harris - Trump and included articles about the election, but everything below that was nothing but Trump stuff.

    My google must be broke.

    I googled Kamala Harris, and got a bunch of hits related to Kamala Harris. I googled Donald Trump, and got a bunch of hits related to Donald Trump.

    What am I doing wrong here?

    I notice the lead stories across the first row are pro-Harris and negative Trump.

    Maybe it does not want cons to abort search terms midway.
