Wordlogic does own patents for search and I imagine one day soon google will have to pay for them. Probably about 400 million or so. Does wordlogic trade as public company, if so probaly will be hostile takeover and google might buy shares instead of dealing with lawyers

Antonym tip is incorrect. It doesn’t work for every words. Does google has way for searching antonym and synonyms for a word? E.g if I want to find a meaning of a word “apex”, I will input keyword as “define:apex”. Is there similar for anto, syno etc? Don’t tell me different sites which does these.

What about the company wordlogic that holds the patents for this type of predictive search technology? Do you think Google is infringing on this patent?

Thanks

In reply to Mohan Arun L..

Thanks for the antonym tip.

As for the wildcard, Google treats absolutely differently. It won’t show you a word instead of it – it will substitute the wildcard with a word or a phrase, so your examples won’t work!

One more small trick
If you want to find antonyms with Google simply start typing the word and then end with ” vs”. The instant suggest autocomplete should kick in and provide the antonym then and there. e.g., “thin vs”.

And the wildcard will really be useful when it can be used for inline autocomplete plus expansion of word in query, for example if you type “he*hy” it should suggest ‘healthy’. Anythig that promotes laziness in typing must be good. Similarly if you type “costa m* CA” it must recognize “costa mesa CA”. We should see this soon…
