This should be closed and removed. The "bug" described has to do with Google Search Predictions and Spell Checking, not the software of topic on this forum. If the OP is referring to Spell Checking on a mobile keyboard, then the issue is with the keyboard software.

Assuming they are referring to either a search suggestion (that appears while typing into the search box of Google Search directly or through a browser such as Chrome) or automatic search redirection ("showing results for x"), Chrome merely serves as the intermediary/display medium and has no control or influence over Google Search Predictions and Corrections.

If OP is offended by a Google recommendation, perhaps someone could direct them to the correct channels to submit a complaint.

Again I reiterate, this is not the appropriate channel for this ticket. It is also not a bug, simply an unfortunate occurrence due to the complex Correction and Suggestion algorithm which is utilized by Google Search. Furthermore the algorithm produces DYNAMIC results due to a number of factors and as such will likely self correct if the term is searched with a high enough frequency.
Components: UI>Browser>Language>Spellcheck
Some clarification.

I accidentally created this under the Omnibox component instead of the UI>Browser>Language>Spellcheck component.

I am not referring to Google search predictions also I'm not referring to mobile keyboard suggestions.

I am referring to spell-check suggestions built into the right click menu on Chrome. Sorry for the confusion.

Now I am not an expert on how the spell-check feature on chrome works, so I assumed it would make sense to report a bug on the off-chance that something funny is going on with the logic there.

We should assume that the folks running this bug tracker are the best people to triage it and close if it is not a chrome issue.

> Assuming they are referring to either a search suggestion.

No , I am not talking about search suggestions.

> If OP is offended by a Google recommendation

I am not offended. I was just surprised because these 2 works have very little in common.

Also, this seems not really related to search frequency because kubernetes has significantly more search frequency than rubbernecks.

Either way, changing the component field to UI>Browser>Language>Spellcheck.
