As for people complaining about other searches like LinkedIn etc appearing before you finish typing "Linux", all I can say is that you must be typing with one finger!
I know people have different typing speeds, but I'd have thought that anyone who uses a computer regularly, i.e. the readers of this blog, I'd have thought they'd type pretty fast.
IMO people are just trying to pick holes in because it's Google.
If you don't like, switch it off!
~EDIT~
Is this going to be included in Chrome's address bar search? I usually just type straight into there rather than going to Google straight away.
UPDATE
Since using it more and running consecutive searches I've found that the initial search is slow to start predicting. But after that it will predict from the first letter I type which shows the same behaviour as other people have reported.
I apologise for disagreeing with you, but I am blaming the bad net connection where I am right now!
But I still love this feature even if it does predict a little too early!
