Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Gmail Labs features get easier to find with Instant-like search
Gmail Labs features are great, but with more than four dozen to choose from, it's gotten a bit tedious scrolling through and trying to figure out which to enable. You could use your Web browser's built-in find feature to locate a specific term on the page, but that's just not very Google.
Which is precisely why a pair of Google engineers decided it was time to add a fancy search option on the Labs page. Not only can you search, but as with Google Instant your results will appear as you type. You can also link directly to a particular query, which could be useful if you frequently toggle a particular Labs feature or two.

What about an auto suggest based on usage for Labs features (kinda like Firefox add-ons)? That might be more useful for the average user who might not even know what Gmail Labs features are in the first place.
This seems more like a gimmick than an entirely useful feature, if you know what to search for in Gmail Labs you may as well just use the search function in your browser to find the text on the page.
