whatGoogleSuggestsFor() : Using Google Instant to map Stereotypes or Sentiment (in R)

Some interesting things emerge when using Google Instant service from different countries.

The whatGoogleSuggestsFor() function will take a string as an input and return a list of suggestions by Google based upon Google Instant Service. Good to map stereotypes or analyze sentiment of a brand. The code is at the end.





For instance, we could get stereotypes attributed to France, seen from the US

> whatGoogleSuggestsFor("why france", domain="us")
                                                                              
              " is great"             " joined ww1"       " banned the burqa" 
                                                                              
" gave statue of liberty" " is better than germany"      " colonized algeria" 
                                                                              
        " sold louisiana"        " banned fracking"             "sa left yes" 


Or, a global advice on Nike Company
> whatGoogleSuggestsFor("why nike is", domain="us")
                                                                           
                  " bad"    " better than adidas"              " the best" 
                                                                           
           " successful"     " a good investment" " the best sports brand" 
                                                                           
              " popular"                " better"        " the best brand" 
                         
           " so popular" 


Some concerns about the the World Cup when you question the future of Brazil

> whatGoogleSuggestsFor("will Brazil", domain="us")

             " win the world cup"     " be ready for the world cup"      " be ready for the olympics" 
                                                                                                      
                      " be ready" " be ready for the 2016 olympics"    " be ready for 2014 world cup" 
                                                                                                      
               " be a superpower"                  " lose olympics"      " be safe for the world cup" 
                                  
" be ready to host the world cup" 


You could use that function in a script to collect suggestions for a list of questions.

          prefix                     suggestion
1  why europe is            better than america
2  why europe is                    a continent

28   why asia is  called continent of contrasts
29   why asia is              densely populated

So then, you can map stereotypes all over the world.
