Abstract

This short paper deals with the combination and comparison of two data sources: Search engine results and query suggestions for 16 terms related to political candidates and parties. The data was collected before the federal election in Germany in September 2017 for a period of two months. The rank biased overlap (RBO) statistic is used to measure the similarity of the top-weighted rankings. For each search term and for both the search results and query auto-completions we study the stability of the rankings over time.
