They have charts to prove it too!

Green and left is betterer! No one really knows what the up and down part means.

The instant search is faster, but it feels a bit overwhelming at first. This could take some time to get used to.

Turn off Safe Search, type the first word or two of something dirty, and be done before I even have to click a link.

I guess we have to wait a few days to try it for ourselves?

Canada's not on the list of countries it's rolling out to? D: First the Double Down doesn't come here, now this!?


<Drew_Linky> Well, I've eaten vegetables all of once in my life.

Haha, I have a much greater admiration and respect for Canada after reading all the Scott Pilgrim books. At least you have that.

I don't really like it. It's like autofill on steroids and I prefer to have a little more control over what I'm searching for, i.e. I tell Google when to search, not the other way around.

But this is the future, in which the machines control us.

Resistance is futile.

The more I use it, the more I like it. I think it is just an abrupt change.

It was actually just on TV a few min ago on the news.

It keeps auto correcting me with stupid shit I don't want! what are the odds the autocomplete like feature could be abused as a form of censorship?

Q:
If an offensive or lewd word is a fraction of my query, will Google push these results in front of me as I type?

A:
As always, we provide options to filter the content you see in search. You can choose to set SafeSearch to filter out explicit content, and parents can lock SafeSearch to the strict setting. In addition, autocomplete excludes certain terms related to pornography, violence and hate speech. Learn more about SafeSearch.

Oh wow, it just started working for me. Just like the many changes Facebook has undergone, I could see myself getting used to it. Once I get the hang of it, will be much faster.

Also, Blackout, you could still type whatever you want, it just predicts it as each letter goes along. As long as you are still very "confident" in your search, you will get what you are looking for.

I dunno, earlier I googled "Google," and these were the news results. I found it really funny, for whatever reason, the picture.

Haha.

But I am starting to like it already, it is so quick not even having to hit enter. It does kinda read my mind...
