Neil deGrasse Tyson about Susceptibility to Confirmation bias; 
Search engines = epitome of confirmation bias! 👍

About search personalization / Filter Bubble - just have a look for example here:

(to disprove or prove a hypothesis we need to go beyond the comfort zone and search directly for alternative explanation, moreover searching in scientific literature through exact search engines there-off is big help too .... or at least switch off the personalization of your Google experience)
