This Google Spreadsheet lets you enter the first characters of a Google search in the first cell and it shows the top suggestions in the US, UK, Australia, France, Germany and Congo. The first row uses standard country codes, while the second row uses 2-letter language codes.
When you open the spreadsheet Google will ask you to create a copy in your account.
If you can find an XML output from other search engines, change the first parameter of the importXML function. Don't forget to update the second parameter and use the proper XPath expression.
ReplyDeleteFor example, Yahoo's URL is:
http://sugg.search.yahoo.net/sg/?output=xml&nresults=10&command=query
and the XPath expression is //s/@k
(please note that Yahoo's suggestions don't necessarily start with your query)
How about comparing Google suggestions to the other major vendors?
ReplyDeleteI created Soovle.com to do this and the resulting collection of suggestions is pretty neat.
Yes, this is the best thing about google suggestion, thats why google is no.1 and the best service provider.
ReplyDeleteI love the highlighted cell. So tasteful: "why do guys get a boner?"
ReplyDeletethis is more of a game. Why would we want to know what others search? If we wanted to search the same thing others search...there wouldn't be any such spreadsheet...
ReplyDeletebut, nevertheless, it's fun!
Google Suggest is a great utiliy which saves time while searching.
