Google Suggest
Google Suggest (http://labs.google.com/suggest/) is another Google innovation that employs the
use of Ajax. Upon fi rst glance, it appears to be a normal Google search page. When you start typing, how-

suggested word or phrase is the number of results the search term returns (see Figure 14-2).
