Is Amazon mixing politics with their search results. Apparently some folks believe this is the case. To make matter worse, it seems that the word adoption was also coming up under the search term under the ‘did you mean’ side of the fence.

Amazon.com last week modified its search engine after an abortion rights organization complained that search results appeared skewed toward anti-abortion books.

Until a few days ago, a search of Amazon’s catalog of books using the word “abortion” turned up pages with the question, “Did you mean adoption?” at the top, followed by a list of books related to abortion.

Amazon removed that question from the search results page after it received a complaint from a member of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, a national organization based in Washington. Source: NYT
