Google Suggest - Demystified

Google Suggest - Demystified

Google honoured me on my b'day with Google Suggest :) Spent sometime talking to Manu about its implementation today and found some interesting links.

Details on how it works here and here (very detailed walkthru). Here is a dictionary enhancement and its details. Even Firefox has a Google Suggest Extension.

While you are at this, in the Google Suggest search box, type "Google Su". One would think "Google Suggest" would top the list of suggested keywords. I don't think Google will be very happy with the results! :) At least, it indicates that the suggested keywords are not "yet" doctored or earning revenue for Google.
