Google.com to get Suggest tool
Google is to make its search suggestion tool available to more users via Google.com.
Announcing the news on the Official Google blog, product manager Jennifer Liu said that the Suggest tool will help users to save time and find what they are searching for quicker.
The feature makes suggestions for searches in real time, offering possibilities for complete phrases when the user taps in just a few letters and is similar to tools provided by Yahoo! and Cuil.
Ms Liu said this can help users to find pages when they are unsure of what exactly it is they are looking for, as well as correct misspelt terms.
The tool was first developed in 2004 and has since appeared in programs such as Google Toolbar, Google Maps and the Firefox search box.
"We find that by providing suggestions upfront, we can help people search more efficiently and conveniently," Ms Liu explained.
