So, I wanted to look at pictures of Clear Water, as in Water that is clear.... I searched on Google, "Pictures of Clear Water." Google gave me pictures of Clearwater, Florida.... Not what I wanted, Google.... :rolleyes::confused: I had to look up,"Pictures of Water that is Clear," to get my desired results..:)

Janice, it doesn't take much searching to get the answers one looks for. Small potatoes in life's challenges.

Google doesn't give you what you want--it gives you what they want.

There is a way to make it search exactly what you type, but i don't remember what it is. i just use Duck Duck Go. It does the same thing without 50 ad servers trying to track your every move.

ummm, I'm fine with my searches on google, I don't like to keep making changes on this great ole desktop.

There was a memorable commercials for Duck Duck Go where a Woman says something like,"My Husband's birthday was coming up, so I wanted to buy him headphones. I looked up Headphones on Google JUST for his Birthday, but now I keep getting ads for headphones even though I only needed the headphones for just my Husband's birthday. I hate feeling like I am being followed." The Announcer said something like,"This wouldn't happen with Duck Duck Go! Duck Duck Go respects your Privacy and doesn't hound you with unwanted ads." :)

I guess some are bothered more than others, I may get a ad for an item I looked up but I just delete. I just looked up a great doc on Wiki via google and no ongoing dialogue.

Janice, did you get a bunch of follow on ads on your water search?

Facebook is notorious for "stalking" you like that. You can tell it not to--it ain't easy, but it works.

I quit logging into Facebook months ago when this computer lacked memory for it. Now that the memory issue is solved, I find I hardly missed Facebook at all.

I never registered at FB, worthless in my life. My daughter has been a member but talks about being banned for what she mentions, her opinions, don't need that as enough out there in other groups.

No not a bunch of water add, but I get a lot of ads for cream dispensers since I look up Cream a lot. There is a big difference between getting ads for something related to what you search for often and getting a bunch of ads for something you looked up one day for a birthday... I can understand getting a lot of ads for Cream dispensers since I frequently look up cream, but I'd be PISSED if I looked up cream once and constantly got ads for cream dispensers.... Like the lady in the Headphone commercial who looked it up once for her Husband's birthday...

I got hip to Facebook after I looked up a shirt on LL Bean, then went onto Facebook and got an LL Bean ad for shirts, probably the same one.
