kinda makes sense.. in an era of self-diagnosis, the farce that is WebMD, etc. it seems like most people would start Googling symptoms, etc - prior to diagnosis.

it's entirely possible that I'm oversimplifying, though - I'm not terribly bright and prefer to look at things on a 3rd grade level.

Well, if the person googled "do I have pancreatic cancer" it's a pretty easy way to narrow it down a lot.

Get those queries to Google and you'll have something. No one uses Bing.

I'm sure Homeland Security is already doing this to track terrorists.

Google/Bing are now also able to predict which internet users create the longest thread titles.
