Dana: I still haven't found the answer why the results differ so dramatically.
Jason: Well, there's the result rationalization, so if you search for a pizza place you'll find one in your neighborhood and not the most popular on the Internet.
Dana: I've read about that so I'm aware. More or less. But I even searched for it in different languages. Incognito mode. Different devices.
Jason: You just gonna get most popular results in this particular region and time. Apparently this book is not well known in Aus. Incognito mode just deletes cookies.
Dana: Still doesn't explain why I can't find an American writer. Even if I scroll through 100 pages.
Jason: Incognito doesn't hide your region.
Dana: So even if I run hotspot shield, it chooses my region? I've never heard anything like that.
Jason: Yes because there's a main host you get connected to first. And then there's your router, server, ip.
Dana: I've read about regionalization, it's merely a percent in the result variation.
Jason: That's not what I'm talking about. There are 2 or 3 main factors influencing what you you get.
Dana: I don't get it. I'm not talking about a pizza place but an English speaking writer. Should show up anywhere.
Jason: It probably should. But it doesn't ;) next time you travel try searching for him again. Use a different browser, log out of chrome, try a different device and let me know what you see.
Dana: Might be a while. I guess I just never thought how we get conned into seeing more of one thing than the other...
Jason: Yeah, that's one way of looking at it. But it also helps you get what you need faster. You just have unusual interests ;)
Dana: Maybe so. Thanks anyway, I'm gonna try and find out more. That mystery really has me startled...
Dana can't understand why the results differ so much. Dana can't find an American writer even though scrolling through 100 pages. Jason suggests using a different browser or devise.
