Google Suggest: another neat search tool from Google

Google Suggest rocks! Type in the beginning of a query and a dropdown list appears that not only allows you to pick from common queries that match what you typed so far, but it even shows the number of hits for those queries - very nice indeed… Admittedly, however, you’re not likely to go hunting through tens or hundreds of thousands of hits.
