Yahoo Search has added suggest feature which tries to auto-complete queries based upon what you type. It not only helps you cut down your search time by limiting the number of words you need to type in the search box, but it also comes handy if you excessively misspell words. Previously, this feature was exclusively available on Yahoo Toolbar.
This feature is quiet similar to Google Suggest, which never really came out of Google Labs. Unlike Google’s suggest feature, Yahoo doesn’t show number of results returned for each related query.
If you find this suggest feature obtrusive, you can turn if off by clicking the “disable” link in the bottom right of the drop down menu.
Surprisingly, this suggest feature doesn’t seem to be active on their exclusive search page. Google Blogoscoped has put up a nice comparison between Google and Yahoo!’s suggest feature.
