    ..does it annoy you when what you intended to type comes up as a suggestion after 2 or 3 letters! It annoys me; dont like thinking that what I'm looking up is predictable or something...its hard to explain

    Its a convienience, i really like, as a lazy typer.

    Its not that what your looking for is predictable, just someone has previously searched for it, or should i say it has a large number of searches/search results.

    I find it awful handy in case anybody's about to walk in on me havin' a bit of an embarassing browse, in which case I pretend to be looking for suitable christmas presents.

    I find it annoying especially when the suggestion is not what you are looking for and you click on it by mistake and you are redirected to the wrong area.

    I think it's funny to see some of the suggestions. Just yesterday I was searching for a video I saw before of this road in Iran that was designed wrong and has traffic merging facing the wrong direction so I started typing "iran road video"

    Half way through typing road "iran road eireann" popped up on the suggestions. Turns out it's what a lot of people think iarnrod eireann is :D
