Google now lets you find labs with search-as-you-type


Google now lets you find labs with search-as-you-type

Google has just rolled out a new feature that allows users to search-as-you-type while using Google labs. The feature is in the settings page which filters the visible labs you type.

Have you ever found it just a little bit tricky to find what you were looking for on the Gmail Labs Settings page? Scrolling was ok when there were a handful of Labs, but now that there are over 50 it’s another story. A lunchtime discussion made us realize that having to rely on the browser’s search function or endless scrolling makes it hard to find the Labs features you want. So another Gmail engineer named Manu and I decided take an afternoon and address this. The result is an addition to the Settings page which filters the visible Labs as you type.
