Google Suggest
Google has done it again with Google Suggest, which was just quietly launched. Unlike Google before, which gives you "did you mean" after you search, Google Suggest finishes what you might mean WHILE you're typing. It also gives you the number of results that that search query has. It's amazing how fast the results come up after you start typing. It loads up just as fast as google.com, so it has replaced my previous homepage. There are a few times where it's useful, there are many times where its not. But it doesn't take up loading time or space, so Google Suggest gets my vote. Now I'll give 'em a week before they come out with their next big thing.

I like, I like! I'm just going to wait until they actually introduce it so the URL will be much shorter to actually begin using it though.

Incredible. The Google Labs offer yet another amazing product from Google.com. I like it, especially how fast it is. Remember, when in doubt, Google it.

Hey, that's pretty cool. However, I heard somewhere that it crashes Konqueror (the browser, however you spell it) But it works fine with FireFox.
