It's a website with a cartoon genie character, who claims he can read your mind in order to guess a character you're thinking about.

It's really just a database which tries to expand its collection by analyzing the answer it gets from people when it asks those questions. If it can't guess your answer, it literally asks you for the answer so it can add it to the database anyways.

By now it probably has a big enough database that most characters are already in there. Something popular like the TF Soldier would be an easy guess by now.

Oh ya that!

Ya, it just checks your search history.

When I can Google a very obscure character and it gets it spot on in 5 questions, it checks your search history.
I actually proved this with a friend, when he googled it it couldn't figure out who. When I did, it found it out quickly.

I didn't think it checked your search history, in fact I didn't think websites could access something browser-level like that at all.

Pretty sure a database still plays a huge part in the algorithm, though.

Ah, now I remember it too. I recall using it about a year ago and getting some TF2 related results.
Ya, that thing.

I promise you no one knows Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière's age without googling it, no way it doesn't check your search history.

They can, that's how Google works the ads you see.
They check your search history and work the ads to be related to what you Google, mostly.

Oh, well that's just a given. I was thinking of my browser's History, for some reason.

Google's creepiness is why I started using DuckDuckGo as my search engine, anyways.
