Froyo Google Market now offers suggested search Tweet

The Android Market – on Froyo at least – now provides suggested search results when users mistype. For instance, searching for “Hime run battle” no longer yields a page telling you that the Market cannot locate such an app. Instead, a results page saying “Did you mean: Home Run Battle” appears and all the apps with that phrase come up.

We just received a tip from reader Rob, who first noticed this happen a short while ago. When searching for “himerun,” all of the apps with “home” or “run” were offered as suggestions. The same happened when “Twotter” yielded suggestions for Twitter.

A few other Android users have reported the same thing, and all are on Froyo-sporting Nexus One’s. I just tested to see if this would appear on an Android 2.1 EVO but it doesn’t happen yet. This may follow the growing Google tradition of trying things on the Nexus One first and then having the feature trickle down to older devices.
