Google announced this morning that it is “very important” to make your mobile web sites user friendly and devoted a whole blog post about the importance of autocomplete on mobile web sites.

Google said:

Is this a hint at a new ranking algorithm coming soon around detecting forms and if they use autocomplete? Nope. I asked Gary Illyes about this on Google+ and he said, “Nope, i’m not hinting anything.”

Either way, I find myself more often completing forms for online purchases and other forms online using my smartphone. Auto complete is huge for that and I am personally using it more often.
