Start using DuckDuckGo or Startpage instead. Doesn't track searches or sell your info..apparently

Apparently they were keeping words with negative associations with Hillary like "indictment" or "emails" from showing up in the auto fill feature. I'm not sure how many others were hidden though. But either way Google is helping Hillary and I don't support that.
Wiki leaks has some info on it right now

I think it has more to do with the way Google's auto-fill feature is set up. I tried a few keywords, and email was the first to come up after typing in Hilary Clinton into the search bar. So they weren't suppressing the word email by any means. Crimes didn't show up, nor did indictment. Which is odd when you think about it, but then I found this article that clears up why that would be:
http://www.vox.com/2016/6/10/11903028/hillary-clinton-google-debunked
Apparently you wont find those keywords popping up for anyone, because their auto-fill feature tries to keep people's criminal history from being completely open. This is probably to protect people who are not in the spotlight, but does the same thing for anyone being searched. It's actually a decent policy when it comes to me or you. Don't want that marijuana conviction coming up for example when looking for a job right off the get go.

Hard to say either way, whether they decided to do a little damage control once this came out to the public or if you're actually right. I wouldn't put it past either of them. I just have soo much distrust in Hillary.
Not gonna pretend like I know all about how search engines work, but either way I think I'm going to switch from Google nonetheless.

But apparently the founder of wiki leaks mentioned planning on leaking some info on her that could actually get her indicted. So I'm hoping for that to be true.

Also maybe there aren't a lot hits for Clinton indictment because she's never been indicted for anything.

The only auto-fills I get for "trump" are "trump news", "trump net worth", "trump twitter" and "trump rally".

Whether you agree or disagree with Trump, you'd have to be pretty blind to not see the bias against him all over the Internet coming from some of the biggest frauds that call themselves news sources or any other kind of media outlets.

The media is doing its job reporting on trump. The guy is the lowest form of life, defrauding veterans and the elderly out of their life savings.
I'm actually a little disappointed his poll numbers are tanking now., giving the GOP a chance to replace him at the convention.

I'll have to look into what you said about him defrauding the elderly but I've heard a lot of veterans defending Trump after that accusation came out. Depending on who writes these things it's hard to just simply believe it, especially when I hear cops admitting these disgusting violent protestors were paid and bussed into his events, (oh yeah, these Trump supporters being beaten at his rallies? Left is blaming Trump for it when video proof shows otherwise) and the fact that Carlos Slim has so much power with the New York Times. It's clear that pretty amoral people REALLY don't want him to win even when it comes to citizens, recently shown with a young black Trump supporter who's been getting many death threats for opposing a Hillary supporter. Dirtbags with a lot to gain typically don't like people who are in the right, and Trump is hated by lots of dirtbags.
