Search the Community

Now, I do tons of Google image searches. Tens of thousands over the years. So, image searches are a big deal to me. I'm a photographer and archivist. Photos are what I'm about and not text so much. So, this test only applies to image searches. Here is the history of a recent search for the IL killer. It just happened to be the search that set off this post. I missed what he looked like on the news, so I did a Google image search to see him / it . I've more or less always used Google and never thought anything about it. It is just easy, and I thought it gave the best results. Sure, I heard about all the privacy issues, but didn't care. Really, I like the popup ads as I archive them in my popup advertising Archive. I also welcome SPAM emails. Have over 400 of them...in the Archive. So, I'm on a different wavelength than most people. Apparently, Google results can vary quite a bit. And the exact same, repeat searches can vary greatly within a few minutes or seconds of when they were originally made. Here is the original search I made... I figured somethings gotta be wrong, so went to Bing... Then tried AOL search... I tried some Russian or China Search engines, but when they didn't respond immediately, I shut them down worrying about ransomware. Retried same exact Google image search as I started with and did better this time...but not by much... Then tried Yahoo search... I finished up with a repeat of original Google search... Crazy huh! I didn't time it, but all these searches were made within say 5 to 6 minutes.
