Google gets suggestive

default — by TDavid @ 1:22 pm PST


Google Labs is at it again, this time by trying to guess what you are searching for, as you type, via Google Suggestions. Check out the Google Suggestions FAQ:

As you type into the search box, Google Suggest guesses what you’re typing and offers suggestions in real time. This is similar to Google’s “Did you mean?” feature that offers alternative spellings for your query after you search, except that it works in real time. For example, if you type “bass,” Google Suggest might offer a list of refinements that include “bass fishing” or “bass guitar.”

I like how it shows you the number or results (see screenshot above) for some of the search terms.

  1. I love this new feature, it’s very cool, but I see there are some problems with it. If you start to type , for exxample the word “speed” some adult terms will pop up. So they might have to add a filter for kids at school to do a search on Google.
