Google logic? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Any idea what criteria Google takes into consideration on a search? Take these, the first two rows of a search for "sex symbol".

I understand the first three - Spears, Monroe and Kournikova - I assume that Crowe might be considered a sex symbol by a female, but where do the rest fit in?

They make sense to me!

Just wish they would stop talking to me in rhymes about killing my postman!

Well there's a suprise. Liquor Dealer looks up "sex symbol" in an image search. You should try "Nekkid girlies" which lists this useful picture instead:

I think the bigger question is why did Michael Caine show up as the 16th image in the results?

Sometimes Google gets it right though.

Type in miserable failure and the list is comprehensive.

Tried it! Bill and Hillary didn't make it until the fourth picture - are they not in order? I thought they would at least be first or second!
