You could always support other search engines -- but as the former CTO of blekko, I'm not going to ever ship an autocomplete that by default returns nasty stuff for [blacks are] or [why do blacks] or a large number of other phrases which produce terrible, terrible autocomplete results.
Yeah, that was my point. Why would google have autocomplete options that give them a bad image? Why should anyone other than google decide what a good image is?
Ah, I misunderstood your point. Yes, it's an editorial thing, and even as a personal fan of unfiltered results, I can't bring myself to ship horrific autocomplete suggestions.
Unfortunately the existence of an autocomplete filtering system does lead to increased pressure to use it for more than just racism and porn.
