Not "search for", but "write about": Google indexes content rather than previous searches. So a lot of people are saying that Apple and Google are evil. Note however that Apple's suggestions all have negative connotations, while Google's are mixed. Or Amazon's. Even the maligned Microsoft manages to get a "Microsoft is cool again". I wonder if this means something...

Actually Google uses searches not content. And it also used quite a few heuristics to offer you what you want. So Google suggestions say more about your personality then about Joe Everage.
