It got me thinking though whether it was about query classes or just attributes of an entity. It’s been like that for quite some time but it makes this type of scenario far easier to explain.Īt random I tried another one from my target list. It’s also interesting to note the prior query is kept in reference in the URL. Sure enough the first autocomplete suggestion is uninstall mackeeper. The scourge of the pop-under world, MacKeeper, jumped out at me so I gave that one a try. Query Class Based Autocomplete Suggestions Now it was time to see if those with high volume (aka intent) would trigger the query class based autocomplete suggestions. Quite obviously there is a query class around ‘uninstall ’. I searched for ‘uninstall’ and scrolled to where the results were making the most sense to me. Instead I landed on SERPs Suggest which was handy since it also brought in query volume for those autocomplete suggestions. I clicked over to Ubersuggest to see if I just hadn’t hit on the popular ones but the service was down. So what does this have to do with autocomplete suggestions? Well, my instinct told me that there might be a query class of ‘uninstall ’. Easy examples might be ‘ lyrics’ or ‘ menu’.
Uninstall winebottler plus#
The subject of the paper was in identifying what I call query classes, or a template of sorts, which is expressed as a root term plus a modifier. I tried ‘SnagIt’ and ‘Photoshop’ but each time I did I got the same generic autocomplete suggestions.Ĭoincidentally I was also chatting with Barbara Starr about an old research paper (pdf) that Bill Slawski had brought to my attention. So I started to try other programs in hopes of replicating the query dependent functionality displayed. This is very different from doing the uninstall query on a fresh session. There it was already listed as an autocomplete suggestion.
Quickly understanding that he didn’t need this program anymore he began to search for ‘uninstall winebottler’ but found that Google’s autocomplete had beat him to it.
The individual was cleaning up an old computer and didn’t quite know the purpose of a specific program named ‘WineBottler’. So I decided to poke around and see what was going on. I’ve seen search results change based on prior queries but I couldn’t recall the autocomplete suggestions changing in the way he detailed. The other day a friend emailed me asking if I’d ever seen behavior where Google’s autocomplete suggestions would change based on a prior query.
