YouTube “AutoFill” on Homepage: Suggests Graduates from Google Labs

ByNalts

Screen grab of Google Suggests- an automatic fill that appears real time to suggest searches based on previous onesGoogle knows what you’re going to search for even before you turn on your computer.

Google Suggests (see definition) — which is a real-time ‘auto-fill’ of your search words based on typical searches — is now part of a typical Google homepage search.

The tool “graduated” from Google Labs according to a recent post on the official Google blog. YouTube’s search engine has been facilitating this “suggest” functionality for some time, which helped me discover that searches for my name often accompany the word “fart” or “charlie.”

 Oh- here’s the wikipedia listing for YouTube celebrities that appears in the screen grab.
