I think google changes search suggestions depending on where you live (which they can tell from IP) or what you look up most often

Yup. They try and make things most relevant to you, which is why I love Google so much. Although it's not necessarily what
you
search for most often (though those are at the top of the list) but what everyone in your area searches for most often.

This, but to much more detail.
I looked something up on Google about Quartz on my girlfriend's laptop, couldn't find an answer. Later in the evening, I opened up Youtube, and two out of three of the 'recommended videos' were videos on how to use Quartz.
Just in case people were wondering what Google does with all your information. You can haz cookie?
Edit: For the record, my list from
www.google.com.au:
sleep
Dalaran
sleep fast
moonglade
northrend
fraser island
bondi beach
taronga zoo
phillip island
phillip island from melbourne
The last 5 are all physical real-world locations in Australia. The first five are undoubtably popular searches. If I run it off my Singaporean IP address (which directs me to .sg):
East Coast Park
Marina Barrage
Pulau Ubin
Sentosa
East Coast Park by bus
Singapore zoo
Resort World Sentosa
Henderson Waves
Singapore Flyer
Fort Canning Park
Apparently Singaporeans don't use Google to find stuff in WoW.
Edit: Just for the Yahoo v Google war: yahoo.com.au gives me, at #1 in Australia:
Google: "how do i get to dalaran"
Yahoo: "how do i get to Australia" :P
