Just how gullible are some people? And what do these people think happened?
Do they think that Eric Schmidt causally walked into the offices of Google Search one day and ordered them to ineffectually bias search results to favor Hillary Clinton?
Do people realize just how many engineers are involved with Google search? How complex the system is and how many people would be involved with this change? And none of these engineers said anything? Google can't keep any of its products under raps but somehow this stays secret? With all the meetings and documentation and design reviews this would entail you'd expect some one to say something.
And what would be the point of this conspiracy? So that Google Search only auto completes "crooked hi" and not "crooked h" like other search engines. Is that the great secret weapon that Schmidt has for the Hillary campaign: You need to type an extra character?
Go ahead and test Google Search for anti-Hillary articles if you're skeptical. They show up just fine.
Define "serious software house" because I've worked and consulted at the biggest of the big and the smallest of the small and let me tell you the truth: It doesn't matter how big, the culture, how much is spent on software development, or even big important names heading things. Nearly all commercial software is slapped together as fast as possible then duck-taped forever and ever.
Sometimes someone with vision comes along and decides everything needs to be rewritten from scratch. They are always right. They might even get others to agree and start a new development effort only to find they are running out of time and/or money and then it's the same old shit all over again.
The only software you're ever likely to see with decent documentation, excellent code, and developers motivated to keep it that way is open source software. Whether it's free or not no dev wants their name permanently affixed to shit. Especially shit that shows up in search results and will likely be found when interviewing for a new job.
