Amazon Changes "Did You Mean?" Result For "Abortion" Query

Wired News reports that Amazon has changed the way to handles the search query "abortion." In that past, Amazon would place a message at the top of the search results of a query on abortion; stating, "Did you mean adoption?" The message was completely algorithmic, based on related searches for adoption and abortion. They are recently changed the page to not show this message, but you should still notice "related searches" for alternatives to abortion queries at Amazon.com
