Twitter account of Sherlyn Chopra is more searched for than Sachin Tendulkar’s

If you are a regular user of Google, which most are, you must have noticed that whenever you are keying in some search query in its web interface (home page or results page) a list of suggestions keep dropping as you continue typing. This feature 'Google Suggest' which was a seperate project sometimes back was leter integrated in the main pages of Google search engine. The suggestions are based on matching queries which most people search for, in descending order of popularity. While the feature is meant to save you from typing a few more keystrokes and avoid potential spelling errors, it is a measure of popularity of search strings starting with same set or letters.

I was looking for some info on Twitter and as soon as I keyed in "Twitter" there were 10 suggestions before me. While one related to info I was looking for, one caught my attention to the extent that I forgot my original intention and started working on this post. The 10 search strings contained names of 3 celebrities Lalit Modi, Sherlyn Chopra and Sachin Tendulkar, and yes! Sherlyn Chopra displayed ahead of sachin Tendulkar. This also means that her twitter account is also most searched for compared to any other bollywood celebrity who failed to show up on the first 10 suggestions.

The suggestions are customized for different locations so result may vary for searches made from anywhere outside India.
