Google thinks it knows what you want, so it’s going to use your IP address to guess your location and display local business results for your search term on a map.
So now they want your medical records, they already HAVE your prescription history, and now they’re going to tell you what you want as well.
“In most cases, we match your IP address to a broad geographical location. You can also specify your likely location using the ‘Change location’ link on the top right corner, above the map. We try to make our guesses as good as they can be so that whether you’re shopping for [groceries], [sporting goods] or [flowers], or looking for your [bank], your [gym], or the [post office], you can just say what you want, and we’ll try to find it right where you are.”
I imagine soon, when you search for “pizza”, Google will respond, “You don’t want pizza, here have baby back ribs instead.”
