New google service - predict your search requests

by Tom 12. December 2004 03:16

In it's ever-continuing quest of improving their search engine, google is trying out a new concept : Google auto-suggest. As you type in your search words, google tries to predict them...

In internet explorer (or mozilla, or almost any browser for that mather) you have an auto complete function : as you type in words, the program looks if you have previously entered any terms starting with the same letters. If you have, it shows them in a list, so you can simply select them instead of re-typing them.

Google had this feature already, but now it has advanced even further in this : it tries to predict your search terms, and shows the number of results you get with a certain term in the list. Please note that this is currently in an experimental phase, so there still might be some minor bugs etc...

Try it here.
