New Search Feature Launched By Google

In yet another step towards technology, Google launched it latest tool of search feature. The most benefit of this new tool will be made by those who are bad at spelling or face difficulties while asking a query. The user has to type in a blank search box, and this search feature will give you suggestions regarding it.

The basic aim of Google Suggests is to make your searching more convenient. For example if you are looking for videos by Michael Phelps’s 100 meter butterfly race, if you type more keywords like “Michel Phelps 100,” you will get better search results by Google. Google is unique as it uses its own algorithms to find what you are looking for.

Already the feature called “Did You Mean?” is available at Google search which tries to correct wrong spellings. This suggestion function has also been promoted by the company to YouTube, the Firefox browser Google search box and its Google Labs site.

This latest feature was defined as magic by Jennifer Liu, a Google product manager, in one of her recent blog postings. Tough both Yahoo and Ask.com have been providing this similar feature but they were not able to attract much attention due to popularity of Google.

In fact it has been reported, that Yahoo saw a drop of 3% in its search market share, since the time it has launched the Search Assist feature 13 months ago. On the other hand, Ask.com which had started this service three years ago too couldn’t cherish success and its shares remained in single digits. However, Microsoft’s Live search does not offer this feature as yet.
