Would you like Presley or Costello with your Elvis?

Just when you can't think of what else Google can do, they think of a new twist on the search. The latest is Google Suggest. With the regular Google if you begin to type a term or phrase that you've typed before, Google will show you a drop down list of previous similar entries. With Google Select, a beta site, Google attempts to help you find the next word in a search by looking at ALL searches at Google and picking the ones that seem to be most popular. I tried this in IE 5 running Windows 98 and it didn't work as promised. However when I tried it with Firefox 1.0 it worked fine. It probably works in later versions of IE but these are the only two browsers I've tried it with.
