The company's search engine uses an autocomplete tool that suggests extra words to help users find what they are looking for more quickly.

But when the name of jihadi imam Anwar al-Awlaki is entered, the engine suggests words including 'lectures', giving access to speeches of hate made before his death in 2011.

Experts have described the function as 'incredibly dangerous', with al-Awlaki said to have influenced several attacks on the West in the past, including the 7/7 London bombings.

Google-owned video site YouTube also carries a similar feature, although the site does remove footage that incites violence or terrorism when flagged by users.

American Al-Awlaki, who previously lived in the UK, was at the top of the CIA's most wanted list.

He was also previously described as the 'bin Laden of the internet' due to his preachings via a blog, Facebook page and YouTube videos.

Al-Awlaki was killed in a US drone strike in Yemen, where he was thought to be leading a terrorist organisation.

Searches for his name without the extra words lead to webpages that describe his links to terrorism.

Meanwhile searches for his name with 'quotes' or 'lectures' lead to websites that include quotes such as 'fight to the last man' and 'Jihad will carry on'.

The prompting of these extra search terms has been described as 'incredibly dangerous' by terrorism experts, with around 90 terrorist plots and attacks in the West 'influenced by Awlaki material online'.

The firm said its searches use algorithms 'based on what other people are searching for' and that people are 'smart enough' to make their own choices

Julie Shain of the Counter Extremism Project, told The Times: 'This incentivises people to search for these things and suggests it's normal to do so.

'In combination with the thousands of videos and pages calling for attacks on the West, it's incredibly dangerous.'

Al-Awlaki spoke American English, and his sermons are widely available online.

His primary message was Muslims were 'under attack' and had 'a duty to carry out attacks on non-believers at home'.

Al-Awlaki lived in the UK between 2002 and 2004 and gave a series of lectures in London, warning people 'not to trust non-Muslims' and speaking of the 'rewards of martyrdom'.

It comes after Google made changes to its search algorithms to tackle misogynistic and anti Semitic searches online.

A statement by the firm released earlier this month said: 'Autocomplete predictions are algorithmically generated based on users' search activity and interests.

'Users search for such a wide range of material on the web – 15 per cent of searches we see every day are new.

'Because of this, terms that appear in autocomplete may be unexpected or unpleasant.

'We do our best to prevent offensive terms, like porn and hate speech, from appearing, but we acknowledge that autocomplete isn't an exact science and we're always working to improve our algorithms.'

Speaking to BBC Radio 4 yesterday, Google director Matt Brittin also said the company works very hard to remove illegal and hateful content.

Mr Brittin said the internet giant has more to do to tackle illegal content, but urged people to make their own judgments should they encounter unsavoury material online.

The president of Google Europe also called for a simplification of UK tax rules, as he insisted the company paid the corporation tax it was asked to by the Government.

Mr Brittin told the Today programme the tool helped save time, adding: 'But it's algorithmic, and I think people understand that these are suggestions based on what other people are searching for.

'So we can always improve that and we work hard to do that, but I think people are smart and they realise that not everything you find on the internet is accurate and there's a range of opinions there.

'I think you see people researching that well. We always have to do more, but I think people understand this is a world of choice.

'People have got more choice and more access to information than ever before, and they can therefore be better informed and make their own judgments.'

Mr Brittin said more effort was also needed to tackle illegal content linked to by Google.

He said: 'It's our job to make sure that we observe the laws everywhere we operate, and we help to remove hateful and harmful and illegal content, and we work very hard on doing that both with technology and of course with people - you can't always use algorithms to solve these things.

'It's an ongoing investment of energy, working in partnership with governments and others, to try to ensure that the internet is an overwhelmingly positive force for society, which I think generally people will accept that it is.

'We always have to work harder on those things.'

WWII nurse in iconic Times Square kiss photo dies at 91

A nurse who was famously photographed being kissed by an American sailor in New York's Times Square in 1945 to celebrate the end of World War Two has died at the age of 91.

The V-J Day picture of the white-clad Edith Shain by photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt captured an epic moment in U.S. history and became an iconic image marking the end of the war after being published in Life magazine.

The identity of the nurse in the photograph was not known until the late 1970s when Shain wrote to the photographer saying that she was the woman in the picture taken on August 14 at a time when she had been working at Doctor's Hospital in New York City.

The identity of the sailor remains disputed and unresolved, althougha man named Carl Muscarellohas claimed it was him.

From then on the photograph also made its mark on Shain's life as the fame she garnered led to invites to war related events such a wreath layings, parades and other memorial events.

'My mom was always willing take on new challenges and caring for the World War II veterans energised her to take another chance to make a difference,' her son Justin Decker said in a statement.

Shain, who died at her home in Los Angeles on Sunday, leaves behind three sons, six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
