Gmail Labs gets an autocomplete feature
Once enabled, you'll notice that when you start typing anything in the search box Gmail will start to offer suggestions. If you enter the first few letters of a person's name, for example, you should see a list of email address from your contact list that include those leters.
But one of the coolest things that autocomplete does is it helps you navigate Gmail's advanced search operators. For example, if you wanted to search for emails with attachments in the past, you had to enter "has:attachments." If you couldn't remember the correct operator, you had to click the "show search options" button. Now you can just start typing "att" into the search box and see what pops up.

You know what would be a great labs feature? Some fucking organization on the labs page. Everything is thrown there in no discernable order. For a company that prides itself on usability, this is a big fat pimple on their face.

You know what would be even better? Retards on the internet stop bitching about Labs organization and be glad Google has a fucking open beta to begin with.

I'm 62 and not a prude by any means, but the excessive foul language that is expressed in here at times only confirms my assumption that the ones who complain the most have nothing to say. I thank those who expressed an interest in starting Download Squad and to those who's comments are meaningful.
Now for those who need organization on Google Labs page, if you look real close under each app you will see the date of the development and at the bottom this exclaimation,,,,,These technologies are still in the beginning stages of development, so they may disappear without warning or perform erratically. If something's not working on this page, please come back and try it again later. It pays to read........Kenn
