This is interesting. Go to www.yahoo.com and type in Barry Bonds (e.g.)

See the drop down list? Nice... but apart from assumed relevancy application to these suggestions, are they also based on actual search volume and listed in order based on volume? I would assume so.

This appears to be Yahoo!'s answer to Google Suggest Search, but it doesn't appear to be in Beta, nor does it appear to be an add-on--it's just there. Will it last? Was it in beta? If it was, my apologies, I never saw it. A friend of a buddy brought this to my attention today.

Can someone enlighten me on this new search tool/service from Yahoo!? And thoughts on its life span? I like it. I don't usually like the search engines thinking for me, but this offers the option to turn it on or off, and doesn't actually interrupt my actual search query.
