If you are a frequent Google search user, you should be able to notice some difference when you type in the Google’s website search box – the search box will automatically present you with a list of real-time suggestions along with the popular ‘hits’ count of that word/phrase.

This nifty feature helps you to reduce the spelling error when doing searches by offering the correct spelling for your word, as well as saving your keystroke and time (i.e. just type “san f” and the search suggestions will pop up with the list of possible options for you to select)

Apparently this feature was already used in some of the Google tools such as Google Labs, Google Toolbar and in FireFox search box. Note that this is secured too as Google re-assures that the users information is kept private and does not base it suggestions on user’s searches.

This features works on most common web browsers (IE, FireFox, Opera, Safari, Netscape) with javascript and cookies enabled.

Update: To disable this enabled-by-default feature, please click here for a simple step.
