Google offers a suggestion
New search aid unveiled
GOOGLE HAS a suggestion for all you searchers out there – Google Suggest.
No, I haven't made a mistake. The new feature, which will emerge from Google Labs this week is actually named 'Google Suggest' and will aid users in faster and more specific searches.
The new autocomplete-like feature will automatically recommend options for the rest of your search period based on the most popular searches.
Google seems a little behind on the game on this occasion however, as similar services already exist for Yahoo and more recently flopped Cuil – although we have a feeling they might just be okay.
This new feature was announced as moving to Google.com on Monday on Google blog, as it already exists in Google Labs, Toolbar, Firefox search, Maps and for some countries, YouTube, BlackBerry and Iphone.
Google Suggest began as a 20 per cent project back in 2004, and is now described by Google as a tool for reducing spelling errors, formulating queries and saving users keystrokes. µ

cuil searched for "counter strike" keyboard layout, found nothing related.
That www.cuil.com is still rubbish. I just searched: "counter strike" keyboard layoutGoogle found several Counter Strike keyboard layout articles, cuil found none.
Cuil did find some keyboard layout articles, also to do with gaming, but none for Counter Strike.
Cuil is crap, isn't it.
New, now with failure.
Well it's in operation now and it's every bit as annoying as you could have dreamt of, it's the FF3 'awefulebar' kind of annoyance
