This process yields insight into the zeitgeist of thoughts, interests and problems of the population.
Specifically, if you apply the autocomplete to words that start a question, you can discover the most popular questions of the time. Systematically constructing a question, term by term, can reveal very entertaining, if alarming, patterns.
