Has anyone else noticed some strange

by hal 9000 . Updated 15 years, 5 months ago

Suggestions in the Drop Down list now on TR for Searches?

The other day when looking at a question on switching from Windows 7 to Linux I saw a suggestion on switching from Breast Milk to Formula which doesn’t seem overly related to a Tech Site.

But today the one that got my attention was How to Pass a Drug Test when looking at a question on setting up File Syncing on a 2008 SBS Server.

So I guess anyone else seen some really strange suggestions in the [i]Helpful[/i] Search Options? :^0

Here is what appeared when I was typing in this question. All very Technical I may add too. 😀

has anyone else
has anyone eliminated their mortgage
has anyone else seen kelly
has anyone eloped has anyone else landed on the moon
has anyone else seen ghost spirit spiders
has anyone else removed earrings a week early
has anyone else had a negative test at 5 weeks
has anyone else developed mustache hair with sunless tanner
has anyone else seen kelly song

[i]Edited to add and confuse[/i] :p

OK I’ve logged back in as HAL and here are some Screen Dumps of what I’m talking about. 😉

OK Guys here’s a Screen Dump of one

Also lately I’ve been noticing that URLs are broken so I’m back to using Tiny URL for the time being.

This one isn’t too bad but there have been some truly weird suggestions recently.

I should have added I’m using Infernal Exploder at the moment because one client insists he needs it and I’ve forgotten most of it. So it could be related to that. But some of the suggestions are really strange.

Edited to add a more interesting Dump

Some seem reasonable but then they go to Septic Tanks.
