<p>We recently reported a <a href="http://igooglewatch.com/tag/google-bomb/">Google bomb</a> on Obama. When you search for  &#8216;who is failure&#8217;, it shows the white house URL on the top and <a href="http://igooglewatch.com/2009/11/another-google-bomb-now-its-obama/">Obama</a>’s name. Likewise there has  also been many Google Bombs in <a href="http://igooglewatch.com/tag/image-search/">Google image search</a> lately, for example <a href="http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2009-11-25-n26.html">Michelle Obama</a> was  targeted.</p>
<p>Now Google puts up a <a href="http://www.google.com/resultsinfo.html">disclaimer</a> of the search  algorithm and here is what it says:</p>
<blockquote><p>Sometimes Google search results from the Internet can include disturbing  content, even from innocuous queries. We assure you that the views expressed by  such sites are not in any way endorsed by Google.</p>
<p>Search engines are a reflection of the content and information that is  available on the Internet. A site&#8217;s ranking in Google&#8217;s search results relies  heavily on computer algorithms using thousands of factors to calculate a page&#8217;s  relevance to a given query.</p>
<p>The beliefs and preferences of those who work at Google, as well as the  opinions of the general public, do not determine or impact our search results.  Individual citizens and public interest groups do periodically urge us to  remove particular links or otherwise adjust search results. Although Google  reserves the right to address such requests individually, Google views the  integrity of our search results as an extremely important priority.  Accordingly, we do not remove a page from our search results simply because its  content is unpopular or because we receive complaints concerning it. We will,  however, remove pages from our results if we believe the page (or its site)  violates our Webmaster Guidelines, if we believe we are required to do so by  law, or at the request of the webmaster who is responsible for the page.</p>
<p>We apologize if you&#8217;ve had an upsetting experience using Google. We hope you  understand our position regarding offensive results.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>The Google Team</p></blockquote>
<p>This disclaimer flashes whenever  you search for popular people’s images on Google image search.</p></div>

<p>I&#8217;m not sure if this happens purposefully or its just a link back hack on Google search result, but it looks bad.</p>
<p>When you search for &#8216;<strong>who is failure</strong>&#8216; in the Google search, you get  president Obama (with the white house link) as the top most result.. Does this mean Obama is a failure? President Barak Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Peace&#8230;</p>
<p>This is just a Google search algorithm failure as far as I can say!! What are your opinions? Share your thoughts!!</p>
