What do you get when you use incognito mode? I checked with that and got the same Star Trek result. I think incognito pops Google’s filter bubble, although I’m not certain.
Though other search engines do give me the Malaysian town.
The same, though Star Trek comes up second. Though google uses a lot of other info about your computer to determine the results (like IP-adress and browser details).
I had overlooked that I was trying to hide from Google using their own software. Of course they wouldn’t have provided it if it worked against them. Silly of me in retrospect.
A handful of proxies verify that it is indeed Malaysia first and Star Trek second.
When I searched the first hit was the Malaysian town called Miri. Looks like an example of filter bubbles.
ddg agrees on “miri” being the Malaysian town.
