MetaCrawler’s unfiltered spy is genius. See in real time what people are searching for on the popular meta search engine. Since it’s unfiltered, you get a lot of, “how to have sex with your dog” type searches, but it’s just so interesting. People are morons. Lots of searches for Google.

Thanks to Larry (no blog, he’s a loser) for spotting it.

    Wouldn’t it be great if this could be an rss feed. You could do lots of interesting stuff with the output.

    I’ve seen queries for food too. What gives? My fav of today, “glock 36 mag extesion”. Yum!

    Raena:

    I remember reading that Wired piece when it came out, and would love to take the same tour. Yahoo! had a billboard in Times Square NYC that showed filtered (no sex) queries in nearly real time. I didn’t get to see it though.

    I’d like to thank Mr. Gales for pointing this out. Now we no longer have to click through our google hits to see what brought the perverts to our blogs; we can actually watch them do it in real time!
