Google alters search autocomplete to remove 'are Jews evil' suggestion

Google has altered autocomplete suggestions in its search engine after it was alerted to antisemitic, sexist and racists entries. Google's autocomplete feature aims to suggest common searches after a user enters one or more words into the site's search box or address bar of its Chrome browser. Typing the phrase "are Jews" into Google, the search engine suggested "evil", for "are women" it again suggested "evil" and for "are Muslims" it suggested "bad", an Observer article reported. On Monday the searches for Jews and women no longer returned those results, although the "are Muslims bad" autocomplete was still present. A Google spokesperson said: "We took action within hours of being notified on Friday of the autocomplete results."
