WSJ Adds Auto-Complete to Search

By Paul Kedrosky · December 20, 2007 · ·

Okay, maybe only I care, but I think it’s great that the Wall Street Journal has newly (I think) added auto-complete to its on-screen search box. You get suggested tickers, plus, almost as useful, you get related topics from the recent news about that company and others.

See an example here from a GOOG search I did at the WSJ moments ago. Nice!

    Interestingly, the War Street Urinal is only a few months behind Yahoo!Finance in adding this feature. Google Finance has had it since day one.

    Yes, baffling why it took the WSJ and Y!F so long to add a wildly useful feature available for ages only on GFinance.
