Less typing for search
Similarly, when you start typing into the search box, if the default search provider supports it you’ll get suggested searches; type in ‘John Lewis’ and Google will suggest searches for the John Lewis gift list, the John Lewis Partnership card and various stores. This is based on what other people have been searching for and often you can get a detailed search query after typing only a few letters. There are also ‘visual’ search suggestions; Wikipedia suggests articles matching your query, Amazon and eBay suggest products, the New York Times suggests news stories, often with an image. Plus you get searches you’ve typed recently yourself and pages from your history that you've visited, in case you’re searching for a page you’d already found.
To get the search suggestions, you have to install each site as a search provider; choose Find More Providers from the dropdown nest to the search box. And if you want the visual search for Amazon and Wikipedia and eBay, click Global Search Guides and install the providers from the US search section. If you want all your users to have them, you can configure them through group policy.
