Search Suggestion

[Mike-Reddick]

Maybe it can seem a bit exaggerated, but I'm wondering the plugin with "search suggestions", for instance you select some word or phrase and the plugin popup show normally, but when you click on textbox (focus) then show an new popup with 4 or 5 search suggestions maybe below the plugin popup (below the icons) or better when this feature is enabled put the icons above the textbox and suggestions below textbox. This feature can be optional, and the suggestion url can be customizable.

Hi Mike, thanks for the idea. ;) I've looked into this just now and, sure enough, you can ask Google to autocomplete a search using a link like this one: http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&hl=en&q=how%20to

I suppose some other search engines can have a similar API, so in theory this could be added, provided that the user knows what link to use for the suggestions.

PS: it may be more complicated to implement than it should due to the asynchronous request and extra UI in the popup ;)

I don't know how helpful this will be, but this chrome extension does what Mike asks. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/searchbar/fjefgkhmchopegjeicnblodnidbammed I know it is a chrome extension, but it may be helpful to you to look at the code for it. You just need to install another extension (I think it is crx viewer) to download the extension as a zip file
