Does it ever feel like the Google Search autocomplete is speaking to you? Or that there’s something a little less than random about the way the searches stack up? It’s like poetry, man. Google Poetics is a Tumblr of all the wonderful stanzas Google’s algorithm spews out. [Google Poetics—Thanks, Alyssa!] More »
The Internet is a terribly sexist place and nothing proves that more than Google Autocomplete, which autocompletes potential searches with terms people often use on Google. Case in point: Start typing in ‘women’ in Google and see the weird and wild Autocomplete suggestions you get. More »
Coming on the heels of Google announcing additional languages for Gmail search, the dev team out in Mountain View is rolling out a few more tweaks. For starters, when you use advanced search, you’ll now see autocomplete predictions in the “from” and “to” fields. Google is also “graduating” three labs: Refresh POP accounts, Filter import / export and Navbar drag and drop. Starting with that POP feature, you’ll be able to click the refresh link at the top of the inbox to populate your inbox with new messages, and also fetch messages from any other POP address you’ve got set up. Moving on, that filter import / export feature should come in handy if you want to share filters with friends or feel the need to back them up. Wrapping things up, the ability to drag and drop gadgets on the left-hand pane is good for, well, you get the idea.

Twitter had been hinting at a big search update today, and that’s just what it delivered. Instead of the (quite frankly clunky) search results page, a search box at top now provides autocompleting search results that split into keywords and people. The system is smart enough to check for spelling gaffes and related searches, and results can drill down just to followed users rather than the entire social network. Autocompleting has been a mainstay of the Android and iOS apps for some time, but we’re glad to hear that web users can now track down their favorite recently graduated teen pop stars faster than ever.
