Google Suggest

Cristiano writes "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." It crashes Konqueror, but works nicely on Mozilla. Update: 12/11 by J : The engineer who thought of it, then built it in his "20% time," blogs about the process.

  2. Google starts to suck by kompiluj · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Well the new Groups really suck - try reading any group that deals with postfix or sendmail - all examples really screwed up.
    And now that... - Google is going the same way that all went. Take for instance Microsoft. Ten years ago it was the icon of geekhood, they made a really good compiler, assembler and whatnot. And now? They even had a lapse of sobriety with Win 2k - quite a decent product - but it finally got fscked up by creeping featuritis disease when transformed into Win XP Proffesional.
    And now Google. Bill Gates is ready to welcome you in the club.
