Google introduced a pilot program Wednesday to allow more e-commerce merchants to add Search as You Type results to their product search tools. Search as You Type works within a retailer’s existing search system but adds Google’s predictive text, spelling suggestions and product photos and information. The added suggestions will help improve sales by turning more searches into buys, Google claims. The feature, which runs on the cloud, is already available for retailers that that purchase Google Commerce Search.
