Google Suggest

The big news today seems to be about Google Suggest. I looked at it, and it looks very cool.

Basically, as you type, Google tells you what you might be looking for, just like IE remembers what you've typed in a textbox before. Except with Google, it's what searches are popular. Then it tells you how many results are in each.

For example, I typed in .NET, and it showed that, plus .net framework, .net passport, and a few others, all showing how many results for each one. Then (to get my wife interested), I typed in bab, and it came up with baby names as it's suggestion - something we are looking at right now!

Very cool. As internet connections get faster and more reliable, these kinds of things will be around more and more!
