MoR is now the seventh Google autocomplete result for "methods" and the first for "harry potter and the m".

Edit: And, per JoshuaZ, "harry james p" brings up "harry james potter evans-verres" as the fifth option. (That was the post that originally led me to post this.)

Make sure you're logged out first, otherwise your search results are tuned according to your search history.

Even logged out, search results are personalized. This can be avoided somewhat by appending &pws=0 to the search string, but they will still use your IP address to customize your search by locale.

I assume you don't know of a way to get non-personalized autocomplete results?

Proxy server and a clean browser? I recommend TOR.

It's also among the first-page results for "rationality".

It's also the ninth Google search result for "rationality" (and yudkowsky.net/rational is #4). Cool.

On that note, "virtues of r" brings up "virtues of rationality" as the second autocomplete result; although that string seems be a bit narrower to begin with.
