Yes, Google can still recognize "you" for some variation of "you". Anecdote - the other day my wife searched for an address on her phone while on WiFi. I searched for that same address just one minute later on a different computer (on the same WiFi) and the address was auto-completed by Google before there was enough of the address entered to make it unambiguous.

(Consider living in a neighborhood where all the streets around you start with "Fl". And then you go to search for "Flanders Drive", which you have never searched for before, and it gets auto-completed. Even though you would have expected "Fl" to expand to "Florence Road" since that's the thing you commonly search for. That's what happened here.)
