According to a new study, those searching the internet for information about suicide methods are more likely to find sites encouraging or assisting suicide than those offering help or support.
Almost half the sites found in search engine results encouraging suicide or providing a ‘how to’ guide.

I’m not Einstein, but it would seem to me that if you do a search for “suicide methods”, then you are more likely to turn up results on how to, or where to get assistance to do one’s self in.
I wonder what the figures would be for a search on ‘suicide prevention’, or ‘suicide counseling’ etc.
If you do a keyword search on Google and Yahoo, or MSN and Ask.com, isn’t it reasonable to expect to find what you are looking for?
