Google search : Is it possible to remove the associated search terms? - Courrier - 03-26-2014 12:14 AM

Just for the sake of giving an example : more often than not, as soon as a politician becomes well-known, the term 'Jew' automatically shows up the Google bar (this is even true for Obama when typing the letter 'j' after his name). In certain cases, this can cause serious cases of reputational harm. Do you know if there is any Google-procedure making it possible to remove those associated terms ? Don't you think many of those terms owe their existence to software running countless google searches with them ?

The only possible way that comes to my mind is to change your account. Google and Facebook have their own filters. It is difficult to explain them all over here, for a better understanding search the following on YouTube.
