Does Schmidt have a day-to-day role at Google anymore? I was under the impression that he is essentially retired from Google's operations and serves only as a board member.

Anyway, it raises the question of whether a board member / former exec can do things on his own time and dime without it reflecting on Google. Does everything that Schmidt does imply that Google is doing it too?

They block all autocompletes of the form "firstname lastname liar" and other similar words.

For example they block "hillary clinton liar". They allow "hillary liar". They block "donald trump liar". They block "george bush liar", they allow "bush liar".
