Autocomplete Me FAQ
What’s going on here?
Remember that time you were innocently searching for “how to avoid swine flu” but Google assumed you were searching for “how to avenge your brother’s death”? Yeah, that totally wasn’t what you were searching for, but it ended up being super helpful after your best friend “accidentally” stabbed Michael.
How does Google autocomplete?
What do I look like, a quantum physicist? I can’t explain these algorithms to you.
I found a sweet autocomplete, what should I do?
Submit it here! If it’s funny, it will land on our voting page, where the critical masses will determine if its autocompletery is funny enough for the front page.
What if my autocomplete is a quote or lyrics?
Taken out of context, quotes and lyrics are usually even funnier. Besides, probably no one but you knows every line from Boat Trip.
What if my autocomplete is a Google bomb?
Google bombs were specifically built to detonate a comedy explosion!
Why wasn’t my autocomplete chosen for the main page? It’s hilarious!
We can’t control the masses any more than you can. But we’re working on it!
Um, don’t you know that that autocomplete is a lyric/quote/title/real kind of sailboat?
Yes, we know what Google is and how to use it, so don’t feel like you have to comment where things come from.

Sometimes I find a funny autocomplete, but when I try to take a screenshot it closes the autocomplete box and all i have in the picture is the text box with what I typed in it. How do I get a pic of the suggestions box? Is there a different function or a program I have to install to get the picture?
I submitted several hilarious posts, but havent seen them on the site. What is the the delay?
The main one I would like to see on the site, was the “Why do black people” auto complete.
I wrote a script inspired by your site that automatically grabs a bunch of suggestions based on your query.

Hello there,
I found this very funny autocomplete at google, but I still don’t really get how to subject my internet page to Autocomplete Me? Aaargh! Can someone explain this to me, the first time I came across this site was just 15 minutes ago!
