You need to distinguish between good and bad filter bubbles. Politics is a good example of a 'bad' filter bubble, but if I search for Python or Ruby, is it unfair to assume that I am talking about programming languages, and not rocks or snakes?

Yeah, that's an important distinction. Once text analaysis gets better, I think it will be important to mix the results.
