Google Search's autocomplete feature sometimes seems like magic. When you type a few words, Google automatically suggests relevant search queries. It's as if Google is reading your thoughts, or at least trying to read them. Search predictions appear on the Google home page, in the Chrome address bar, in the Google app for iOS and Android, and everywhere you have the Google search box.
