That’s what I’m saying! I immediately was intensely ANNOYED at this “google suggest” garbage. I want to search for what I want to search for — not what 40 million other people searched for.

I am not happy when someone or someplace attempts to steal my freedom to think for myself. I’m sorry that other people never learned how to spell, but that’s not MY problem. Damn! Get a dictionary and learn, folks. This “the web will think for you, spell for you, entertain you” attitude with the latest technology is going too far if you ask me. “User friendly” has overreached its grasp.

but it has make me thinking… pushing technology like this too far could bring us a less “free” search experience. to try to make you thinking in this direction i will give a more extrem exsample. lets say i would search for nana, and the search engen would say “lets search for banana, i have a lot of links for banana” :)

search engens could get worse because most of people would search the suggested keywords (for wich the search engen has or should had good results), but nobody would try to find some new, unexplored secrets of the web…

Too bad, you could use it as a search engine for your own site otherwise.</p> It doesn’t work with meta-keywords like “site:domain.tld”.

Should it use the API?<br /> Possibly its violating the letter, but not the spirit, as its only doing a single search per query?
