Google and Microsoft do this too when you enable real-time searching via the address bar, but both are pretty good at letting you know it happens. Doesn't Safari have some kind of first-run experience where the user gets some notice on this?
- bane 12y agoGoogle and Microsoft also run search engines.
- jfoster 12y agoPerhaps Apple internally already consider themselves a search engine. This might only be a temporary misalignment of user experience and data being sent to Apple.
- andy_ppp 12y agoWithout the requisite user data or some fantastic and soon to be copied algorithm I would expect their search experience to start off about as well as Apple Maps. You can bet they are going to build it though and it'll look nice.
- jfoster 12y agoThat might depend on whether they learnt anything from the Apple Maps debacle. They might approach something like that much more tactfully the next time they try it. With the right expertise on the team and some decent exposure to real users prior to the wide release, they may be able to deliver something that people enjoy using. The micro-features that delight users are something that Apple has traditionally done well, and are also the type of thing that go a long way in a product like a search engine.

- AznHisoka 12y agoThe App Store is a search engine as well.
- randomfool 12y agoIn Chrome it only gets sent to Google if Google is the default search engine. I'm willing to bet that IE is the same.
