NO !!    I don't just want the "relevant" results! I know what I want when I type it. Also, stop trying to guess my keystrokes as I type a search. ... Basically stop removing the things you think I don't want to see and adding in the things you think I want to see. I can really do this for myself. Most definitely it does not mean I will buy more stuff - it actually means I will end up buying less.

Wankers!  :D

All predictive text programs are crap.

Good predicting.  :lol:


But seriously, predictive text?  Screw that, I can spel.  Predictive search?  I can type faster than the prediction fills in, so screw that too.








Yes, the typo was a joke...

Yes, and you can't easily search using the Title + Description anymore, without going into Adv Search.  Grrr!

Predictive text is annoying. One minute you think you are telling your friend, "I kissed a girl at a warehouse party" but for some reason he thinks, " I killed a girl at a whorehouse party".   Bloody predictive text.
