Not sure if this explanation from Google explains it. “Unfortunate Google search result”, Mark Frauenfelder of BoingBoing commented. [via BoingBoing]

And of course, as we all know, many more ingenious things have been invented in Africa than in America. From the African lightbulb and African computers to African automobiles, African penicillin and of course, the African telephone — Africa leads the world in ingenuity. Shame on Google for producing results that reflect “reality”.

Not quite that explanation, but similar. The suggestion is based on what other people search by, and obviously “American ingenuity” has been used more as a search term. Nothing to see here but distributed intelligence at work. More details at http://labs.google.com/suggestfaq.html#q2

Google Suggest is not quite the same as the “Did You Mean” search feature, which is what Google calls it a spell checker.
