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.

  1. Re:Does not work with Opera 7.54 by hkmwbz · · Score: 1, Troll
    "In my experience, Opera is a really finicky browser to work with compliantly."
    Not really. If you know what you are doing, you shouldn't have any problems with Opera.
    "the fact that not that many people use it anyway..."
    If by "not that many people", you mean "millions of people", then you are probably right. Opera does have a market share of 2-3 per cent worldwide, and in many European countries it has an even higher market share.
