A very useful feature of Google Search is the pre-emptive “suggested searches” that drop down as you type your search into the box.
These suggestions are calculated based on a combination of the commonality of individual search requests – (ie: how often people are searching for the term) – and the availability of material in their index that matches the search.
Clearly, there is a lot more negative material regarding Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, and his Communications Minister Stephen Conroy currently online, than there is about terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden!

One might say that they have become a “miserable failure”.
