I tried this from Japan and via a US proxy, and got the same behavior—no autocomplete for "yellow", while other colors work fine. Anyone have clues as to what's going on? (For context, "yellow" means pro-democracy in Hong Kong, and Google has censored this kind of thing before)https://twitter.com/cloudyip/status/1263357406160883719 …

I think such glitch is due to mainlanders searching too much stuff that polluted the suggestion database especially Google decided not the distinguish between Simplified and Traditional Chinese in search rankings.

Did they localise the implicit Bowdlerising algorithm? Is there a common 'smutty' term that starts with yellow, like blue-foo used to? http://epeus.blogspot.com/2010/09/slutsky-vanishes-google-instant-has.html …

Some suggest a reason, as 黃色 in older Cantonese usage can be an euphemism of 色情 (pornography), which also doesn’t have autosuggestion But this is very stupid, if it is the reason.pic.twitter.com/yqClfq1DJt
