Google Is Not Quite a Mind Reader

Google's Spell Checker was designed especially to improve the relevancy of certain keywords by offering suggestions for some of the search queries made by the users of the search engine. As you surely know, the "Did you mean" feature is displayed once in a while directly on the SERP and above the search results, providing an alternative for your search query. The tool was meant to identify the typos discovered in the keywords but it seems like Google provides at least weird suggestions. gSpy reports an interesting suggestion displayed for "chile's population" that encourages you to search for "china's population".

"This automated process of identifying typos means that there are chances that Google would wrongly flags correctly spelled words and tries to suggest a irrelevant alternative. In the screenshot, for instance, 'chile's population' (which is correctly spelled) is being flagged as a typo and Google tries to suggest 'china's population' as an alternative. Obviously in this case, where China being the most populated country in the world would definitely have a higher occurrence in all the words on the Internet (searching for 'China' in Google return approximately 639,000,000 while 'Chile' only returns 211,000,000)," the blogger reported.

Although the suggestions are somehow weird, Google provides an easy way to improve the function using users' help through the "Dissatisfied? Help us improve" feature displayed at the bottom of the search engine result page. "Thanks for helping us improve our search. While we aren't able to respond directly to comments submitted with this form, the information will be reviewed by our quality team," the tool sustains. If you decide to send Google your own suggestion for its suggestion, you're required to fill a form with more details about the search query as well as weblinks or other elements of the search results.
