The state of UX according to autocomplete →
Google Search’s autocomplete functionality can tell us a lot about the zeitgeist around a certain topic. The suggestions it offers when you start typing your search query are based on what other people have been searching for — and the more you start digging into it, the more interesting the suggestions get.
So I’ve decided to collect a few of those screenshots as it pertains to the things we usually write about here at uxdesign.cc, namely “UX”, “Usability”, “Interaction Design” and popular search queries around these topics.
The result was quite interesting.
