Hi guys,
Did you try yahoo's instant search at http://instant.search.yahoo.com/
It gives you the result when you are typing your keywords only. Still in Beta phase , at the moment it gives a single result and only when you type the first keyword. For example, if you type Windows it displays Microsoft site but when you type Windows host it doesnt display anything.

That looks like something I would never have a sue for.

I don't think Google suggest is like that, doesn't it just check your search history to see what term you may be wanting to search? If google is supposed to do something more, it must be broken for me.

Anyhow, this yahoo "feature" appears not only useless but annoying. If I were finished typing what I want to search for I'd have pressed enter... no need to pop up useless distractions after typing a word.
