And when you want to learn more about snakes or her more about programming, it will be that much harder to get good results because google's bias will be working against you.

It also increases the effect of grouping people into only social groups of the same philosophy and reducing exposure to other points of view. Not good for society. So even if I could fix it for myself, it is bad in general.



Then you would just need to clarify it further... It's not as if when you type "python language" or "python programming" that Google will respond with "No, sorry, you're only interested in snakes." I believe it's simply meant to help clarify unambiguous queries, and increase the ranking of the results that I'm normally interested in. At the bottom of almost every search you make, it says "Did you mean" - I would like them to make it easier to find, and I'd imagine they will.

I'm often looking up stuff related to code - I would love Google to know what languages I use, and present me with results specific to them. If I'm looking up something different, I'm sure Google will present me with their best guess of what I might mean...
