If you use the Google Search bar in Firefox, it predicts what you want to type, based on what has been sought for many times, and shows the results in a drop down list.

 

I don't know about you guys, but I always get a warm feeling when I find out that there are countless people who have also been looking for that exact thing, and typed it exactly the way you type.

Isn't it called auto-complete? Or does it just show suggestions' date=' and doesn't complete it for you?

Auto-complete only shows 1 suggestion and is also very annoying. If you mistype 1 letter, you usually just hit backspace so that it's gone. However, with auto-complete, it just removes the suggested part, while you never called for that.

 

 

It won't auto complete porn' date=' so its completely useless.

I'm pretty sure it auto completes henta~ *checks it*

It doesn't.... o.o

That's because the person(s) who created this never thought someone would search for pr0n.

 

Isn't it based on the popularity of search terms?

You can spend a lifetime doing that manually...

I have Safari and get suggestions like that too. I think that's just a Google thing in general.

 

Typing "Why do *random race* people" and then reading the results kept me occupied for about five minutes. I was about to say that was the most enjoyment it brought me but after thinking about it it's helped me on multiple occasions when I could only recall half of a title or something.
