So. Has everyone now gotten the lesson right?

Google is an ADVERTISEMENT ENGINE.

NOT a search engine.

The only letter of the alphabet not taken by a corporate entity is W? Hm, Walmart begins with W as well. Coincidence?

If you have personalized search turned on, your results will be different.

If you don't know the difference between "sponsored links" and actual search results, your results will be different.

If you are anti-Google, you will come here to act high and mighty about removing your Google, and we will all scoff condescendingly at you.

i got zillow for "z" above zappos even though i've bought product from zappos before and have never heard of zillow

L for me brings up info for the LIRR... these must definitely be customized, and i'm thinking based on IP because when i hit W, it came up with a local weather station even though i'm signed into my Google account which is based in another zip code- very cool stuff!!

I think the results are personalized with what you searched before?

"w" is weather if you read the article. These are the other 25 letters.
