New Google Suggest Features

Here are some of the new Google Suggest features that Google blogged about today:

1. Suggestions are now appearing on the results page search box - not just on the Google home page.

2. Personalized suggestions - the list may be related to your recent searches, if you're signed in. This could be helpful if you found a specific site recently but can't remember the exact query that located it.

3. Navigational suggestions - if your typing looks like you might want a specific website, that suggestion appears at the top of the list, at least until further typing rules it out.

4. Adwords links are now appearing at the bottom of some suggestion boxes.

5. The "result count" column has been dropped, as not being very helpful. I certainly agree with that. Now, if they want to show "total searches last month" I'm all eyes.
