Hmmm..."google is evil" has 49,400,000 results, while "microsoft is evil" has only 17,000,000 results. Interesting.

I wonder how this will effect the organic market for misspellings? Even with Google's spell check (post search) there was still a vibrant market for common misspellings.

I used to know a guy who had top rankings for "Amazom" and it banked him some nice affiliate dollars for years.

I'd love to see stats in a few months that show it's effect (or not).

I was wondering why it would only work for me in the FF search box. I didn't know it was a labs feature.

Now I'm on Google.com and it's not working for me. Do I have to change a setting in my Google account? I'm on FF3.

It's being rolled out to users in blocks, not everyone has it yet.

I think Yahoo had something like this for months now.

Its called yahoo search suggest. It also broadens by category without being intrusive. The thing I like with search suggest is that it starts giving suggestions only after you dont type anything for few seconds for eg when Im trying to think over the spelling. Google suggest kind of keeps distracting.

The feature must be costing them more in bandwidth than most small, invade-a-licious nations earn in a year.
