Google Suggest

Just discovered... Google Suggest helps you to start a search with suggestion on what you're typing. Nice!

Some quick curiosity: if you type MI the first suggestion is Microsoft... if you type G, Google is at the 2nd place, just after the word GAME; if you type . , .NET Framework is 4th... wow!  But if you type Sex... nothing!! Filtering?

Yahoo and Desktop Search

Yesterday Yahoo announced the future release of its desktop search product (planned at the end of January). The new Yahoo's Desktop Search will be free (obviously) and based on an existent tool, the X1's Desktop Search (what is there under this partnership?).

I'm curious to see a comparison between the recent Google Desktop Search and the future release of MSN Desktop Search, that I think it will be totally integrated into the OS.

Yahoo has released this comparison table (obviously, must be taken carefully):

The new war now is moved on the Desktop Search field and we'll see what happens...
