A lot of people search their medical symptoms on the internet when they are sick. Most of these searches throw up results with too many suggestions. It is all too typical for a person searching for information on a skin rash to conclude that he has cancer after a couple of searches. For all those predictions about computers taking over the world, it is indeed sad that we still need to run to a primary care center to fix our common cold. This is an even bigger problem in places with a lack of access to primary healthcare services and where people buy medications based on word of mouth recommendations by non-qualified professionals. Even when a doctor is available, it would be much better if the doctor spent those 15 minutes of scheduled appointment time on researching a more complex problem rather than almost repeating the same treatment for common cold over and over again.

Google can do a much better job of helping you with your symptoms then what it currently does. While one might argue that there could be potential legal risks associated with giving too many suggestions, I believe those risks are overrated relative to the benefits in a lot of situations.
