Groups now included in quick search

In another small tweak to the site, Facebook has added support to quickly jump to individual Groups by using the auto-complete feature of Facebook search. Initially, auto-complete only displayed friends. Later, it was expanded to include applications and Facebook Pages, and now it supports Groups. Links to other core features, such as individual events or photo albums, are not supported.

Currently, auto-complete only supports recognition of characters in the beginning of a word. For example, to search for a group called “Facebook Developers,” the box would recognize the input “dev” and display the proper result.
