The searches of others and Snopes

When Google and other search software began showing others' searches that are similar to what I am searching, I found that the ideas and directions of others were a help to me, too.  But with Snopes, a website that shows mistakes and unfounded rumors for what they are, I found after a while, that it was better for me not to read worries and inventions of others. Some of them tended to lodge doubts and fears in me that I didn't want and could do quite nicely without.
