Google Suggest BETA
December 11, 2004 03:02 PM
The web is buzzing with the latest news from Google Labs:
This new web search service suggests queries as a user types what he or she is looking for into the search box. By offering more refined searches up front, Google Suggest can make searching more convenient and efficient, because it eliminates the need to type the entire text of a query. In addition, the service can connect users with new query suggestions that are useful, intriguing, and fun.
Google Suggest seems to be a very helpful and very interesting approach to web searching. It is similar to the autocomplete feature we see in textboxes in applications. The project developed from an idea by Kevin Gibbs, a software engineer in Google, all in a matter of a few months.

The searches as they are made at present are far from ideal. Let's wait for the days when meaning and ontologies are searched for. Google seems to make the biggest strides towards this goal.
