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.

Going through comparison.
But really, its like Apple vs MS, where apple invents, microsoft markets and gets successful. google invents, yahoo brings it up to a lot of hype.
i still cant understand why google puts so many of their cute projects in the shelf, when they should be out in glory. search suggest is one of them.

TechZilo: Yeah, most users are not aware of Google Labs, so they miss out the latest and greatest, which rarely comes out of Google Labs.

what about the other google stuff? i am sure that there are atleast 100 high quality projects at googleplex, which are pet projects of engineers who develop them in “20% time”. yet, very few ever see the sun.

Yes, I have seen it in google labs around a year ago, but they did not implemented it. Probably they must have a reason of not implementing it.

TechZilo: Your comment makes me think that Google is simply wasting human work hours.

That’s quite irritating to me…

Yes, google does waste quite a lot of manpower, and skilled and expensive at that!
but hey, some of their best, like gmail have come from that free time, so maybe it is worth for them.

That’s a fairly cool feature, this seems like Yahoo progressing now that Jerry Yang’s back at the helm.
