autosuggestions

Goggle has started with autocompletion for popular searches. Could be cool.
It might even sometimes help you find search terms you'd otherwise not have thought of. For instance, if you remember that the next 007 movie starts with "Quantum" but can't remember the rest, the popularity of the title will help you.
(Google seems wisely to have chosen to rank topicalness high.)

Started?

The Google search in the windows tool bar auto completes, and has done for ages now.

It works as well for celebrity gossip as for hard to find component data sheets.

See this screenshot.

It's the first I've seen of it.
