Please help me with a simple research project: 3 minutes of your time, max.

Please enter the following in a Google search box:

Restaurants near 2415

(Put a space after the 5.)

Copy or note the first response or two that Google autocomplete fills in. You don’t have to hit “search.” I’m not interested in the search results, just the response from autocomplete.

Then please post the response(s) below in a spoiler box. If others have posted before you, please don’t open any spoilers before you post your reply.

I’ll explain it all after a few replies have been posted.

Thanks.

I only got one autocomplete: restaurants near 2415 mcgavock pike

5th avenue

Same.

Also the same as snfaulkner.

Sorry. Screwed up on the directions. In my defense I have an eye infection and was administrating drops: no lie.

Ditto the others.

Same

Likewise, I’m sure.

I’m with everyone else. Since I live outside of Nashville, I expected that to be a regional response.

One autocomplete

Is there a point to this?

It depends which browser I use!

I got
~ Google Search
~ Search with Google
or

~3
(that browser managed to truncate the trailing space)

That address is the location of a time share at which we are currently staying. My wife Googled the phrase in question while we were more than 1,000 miles away and got that autocomplete response before she finished typing the number, which strengthened her (rather common) suspicion that Facebook/Google/Amazon are listening to us via the mikes on our phones and other devices. I suspected that it was simply a common query, and unless you are all staying here at the Wyndham in Nashville, these results seem to verify my theory. Thanks, all.

Since I’m absolutely nowhere near you, this is clearly not a regional result. In fact, I just out of interest, I tried my own 4-digit postcode and autocomplete still spat out a big list of 5-digit strings (which are not meaningful in an Australian context)

(ETA: I see I didn’t follow instructions properly and omitted the space. Point remains the same tho)

I also got the McGavock Pike suggestion. I’m in St. Louis, and using an Android, FWIW.
