Exciting new feature added to Google search

Posted by Saad Ibrahim 28 August, 2008

Google Search keeps on getting better and better and this time the Google team has added a cool feature to Google search which shows suggestions in the drop down box as you type in real time.

To try it out Open Google.com and type few letters and you will see suggestions related to your typed query in the drop down box, if you cant decide the right keywords to search for or if you don’t know the correct spelling of what you are looking for then this comes handy and this also saves you a bit of typing, the suggestions also show the number of results for that specific keyword in the drop down box.

The suggestions feature isn’t working with some localized versions of Google Like Google.com.pk yet, it will be added to all localized versions of Google search in the coming weeks

This suggestion isn’t something new, this feature was there in the past but it was part of the Google Labs under the Search Experimental Category and If you use Firefox you must have already used this feature in Firefox search box. A similar kind of suggestion feature can also be seen in youtube search box.
