if it was js, where's the code ? i didnt find it in the source of google.com and i havent notated any frame/iframe

your not looking very hard: first off you need to look in the source of the actual page which you pointed the list to (thanks for that btw, I had not seen this new beta widget of googles before!). somewhere in the source is the following: <SCRIPT src="/ac.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT>InstallAC(document.f,document.f.q,document.f.btnG,"search","en");</SCRIPT> I haven't checked it - but I'm willing to bet that ac.js contains the relevant magic.... AFAIKS they have 2 other scripts on that page, but they don't seem to be directly involved: <script> <!-- function sf(){document.f.q.focus();} // --> </script> and <script><!-- function qs(el) {if (window.RegExp && window.encodeURIComponent) {var qe=encodeURIComponent(document.f.q.value);if (el.href.indexOf("q=")!=-1) {el.href=el.href.replace(new RegExp("q=[^&$]*"),"q="+qe);} else {el.href+="&q="+qe;}}return 1;} // --> </script> have fun working out exactly what they do :-)

Hello last days i've seen on php dot net site that the search engine has impleted a new autocomplete option that was disabled soon. anyone know why did they disable it ? is there any disadvantage with that ?

AFAIK it was a major resource hit. The complete source of the php.net site is available; and you can view the CVS history via a web iterface: http://cvs.php.net/phpweb/ I would suggest searching that for the code.

i'm interested in the autocomplete option with inputs, i used it with pear : HTML_QuickForm but wasnt enough good like what i saw on php.net and what u can see on http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1 anyone know how to do that ? wich technologie is used over it ?

javascript.
