A much faster way to get to your friends

Typeahead, Quick Friends, Friend Jumper — who knows what to call it, but Facebook has launched one of those very small, but extremely useful features.
This new friend finder integrates beautifully into the existing search bar. I can’t imagine what percentage of my searches were for friends, so this is certainly a welcomed addition. One of the great things about this new feature is that you can see just what you need to. Before with search, if I searched for “Annie,” my first result was always “Anne,” then “Annie.” With this, I can see exactly what my results are, and which one I’ll be going to if I hit enter. I can also see primary networks if I’m feeling particularly braindead. As you see in the picture, another great part of this is that it matches any part of the name. Whatever you call it, this is another great, recent addition to the site.
