Getting google search auto suggestions using Webdriver(Selenium 2)

In the google search when we start typing any search query google will start auto suggestions. All these search suggestions are part of a WebTable. If we would like to capture all these search suggestions then we have to just iterate through the table.

Here is the sample code which will start typing "vam" and then capture all search suggestions .

22.     
23.   driver.get("http://google.com");  
24.   driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).sendKeys("vam");  
25.   driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);  
26.     
27.    WebElement table = driver.findElement(By.className("gssb_m"));   
28.    List<webelement> rows = table.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));   
29.    Iterator<webelement> i = rows.iterator();   
30.    System.out.println("-----------------------------------------");   
31.    while(i.hasNext()) {   
32.            WebElement row = i.next();   
33.            List<webelement> columns = row.findElements(By.tagName("td"));   
34.            Iterator<webelement> j = columns.iterator();   
35.            while(j.hasNext()) {   
36.                    WebElement column = j.next();   
37.                    System.out.println(column.getText());   
38.            }   
39.            System.out.println("");   
40.               
41.    System.out.println("-----------------------------------------");   
42.    }   
43.   }   
44. }</webelement></webelement></webelement></webelement>  

Here is what we will see in the browser after running the above code.
