SUMMARY: Google can suggest words that may save you typing when entering search queries.
 
Are you trying to find some information on the Internet but just can't seem to come up with the appropriate query? Let Google help suggest words or phrases to increase the relevancy of your searches.

As you start typing, Google Suggest displays a drop-down box with possible searches for you to perform, complete with the list of matching pages in Google.
