Facebook gets search auto suggest feature

Top US site Facebook is finally cutting down on the need to type whole words (BEd: It’s reall annoyin in thi day an age) when searching by integrating an auto complete function. What this means is that, after entering a few letters into the search bar, a drop-down menu will appear with suggestions on people, events, groups and Pages you’re connected with or on more general results.

“If you don’t see what you are looking for in the drop-down menu, you can go to the search results page by selecting “See More Results” from the bottom of the drop-down menu. You’ll be taken to the full results, where you can sort by different categories and refine your search further,” explained Facebook engineer Wayne Kao.

The search auto suggest feature is currently being implemented so it can take a few days before it becomes available to you
