Google's autocomplete is more sophisticated than Bing's or Yahoo's. One of the things it does is suppress search results from showing up in the autocomplete if searching with a proper name if it's associated with something derogatory. Try it with almost any name where you'd be sure a top result would be a crime.

Try 'bill cosby r' or 'bill cosby s'.

Basically it's a conspiracy theory founded in ignorance.

EDIT: So the scandal is supposedly that Google's autocomplete skews in favour of Clinton.
