Gmail Gets Autocomplete Search Functions

From PC World: Google added suggestive search in Gmail, five years after the service was launched. The new Search Autocomplete feature gives users suggestions as they type in the search box. The function returns results such as contact names and also allows users to search through chats or attachments.

Gmail users should be now able to turn on the Search Autocomplete feature from the Labs tab under Gmail Settings. After you type a couple of letters in the search box, results suggestions will show up, just like in Google Suggest. The feature will deliver contact names first in the results.

You can also specifically search with advanced search operators in certain places of your Gmail account. Users will get suggestive results from their docs, photos or Gtalk chats. Searching through attachments should be a breeze as well, as users can select what kind of attachments they want the search results to deliver.
