    Does anyone else find it a little offputting when you start typing in a search for Google, and it already knows what you were going to say?

    Sometimes it is convenient when the bot guesses right - other times it is amusing how off they got.

    What I find annoying is when you type in a Web name like Rottentomatoes and they say "Did you mean rotten tomatoes?" Like you are a web based search and you can't figure out Rottentomatoes is a place?

    I don't mind it suggesting what you might be looking for. It did drive me nuts a while back when it would automatically just go to a webpage. They either stopped that or through my clicking around there was a way to turn that off.

    It's weird, but it doesn't bother me.
