Suggest - A New Way to Google
Google Suggest was added to Google Labs on 12/9/04. Other graduates of Labs include Web Alerts, Google Deskbar, and Search by Location.
The Google Suggest homepage looks very similar to the Google homepage. However, when you type your search query, Suggest automatically tries to figure out what you are looking for and gives you example queries that might save you some typing time, much like Internet Explorer does when you type a URL you have already been to. It might also give you better suggestions on what to search for. This is a very interesting piece of technology and I recommend checking it out.
Underneath the hood, the bulk of the work is done with Javascript. Chris Justus does a pretty good job dissecting all the code.
