The Google Alphabet: An Autocomplete Snapshot From A to Z

The Google Alphabet: An Autocomplete Snapshot From A to Z

Google's "instant" results appear in the search box the moment you begin typing a search term. For every letter of the alphabet, Google autocompletes popular search terms.

We thought it would be an interesting experiment to take a look at the current crop of default search results during an anonymous search session on Google. As with the Google "Zeitgeist" reports, you could consider it a cultural snapshot, profiling the U.S. in terms of its search queries.

Take a look through the current Google Instant search results for the U.S., which we have presented without comment in the gallery above. Let us know in the comments below which terms surprised you -- or what you expected to see, but didn't.
