Automatic suggestions for wiki page names as in Google Suggest or
Objectgraph-Free Dictionary
I propose to investigate, whether we can offer this technique before users
create new pages. Admittedly, it can cause heavy loads to network and databases.
Automatic suggestions for wiki page names as in Google Suggest or
Objectgraph-Free Dictionary
Google has a beta implementation called "Google Suggest" that automatically
suggests the terms *while you type in the search field* . You can try it out
by clicking on the link below and for instance typing the word "wiki".
*While you are typing the word*, Google Suggest shows suggestions that would
complete it (to accept
the current suggested word you only need to use the right arrow in the keyboard)
and go on typing or selecting terms from the list that appear.
You can go on with the example completing the search terms wikipedia and so on.

This enhancement is targetting the same problem as my other proposal [4] but you
now can see more and more internet sites offering such "live" searches.
The technique behind this is described in [3].

Fuzzy (approximate) wiki page title access - fuzzy bookmarking - auto search.
