Google Suggest in beta form

"Google Suggest quietly debuted this week on the company's Labs site, which showcases Google features that 'aren't quite ready for prime time,' according to a message on the site. When someone starts typing a request into the search box, a drop-down menu appears with suggestions as to what that person could be looking for." reports CNet.

"For instance, typing in 'Mi' generates a list starting with 'Microsoft' and continuing with 'miniclip,' 'Michael Moore' and 'miserable failure,' among other suggestions."

As Gary Price points out, AOL's Pinpoint Shopping service has a similar feature, and it's interesting to compare the implementations.
