You might have heard of this cool new tool which is still under developement. the name is "Google Suggest".The current address for this tool is www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en . i have never seen such an efficient use of javascript over net. when u start typing a search string in the text box, a js dropdown list of top 10 possible search strings with the no. of results google database contains.
the tool Google Suggest is still in its beta and google is going to release its final version soon. However, if u r using Firefox Browser, you dont need to type the whole address for google suggest or even bookmark it. There are extensions available on the Firefox site which are used to enable Google suggest whenever u open normal Google search page.
I personally use and suggest you Firefox for browsing pleasure and to avail lots of its great features in comparison to old useless Internet Explorer. Lots of extensions, enhancements and many more things make Firefox much superier than IE.
