Amazing

I have already been amazed with the google search box in FF2.0 and it's
suggestions. I assumed they were using a list of most frequently
searched terms. But, now I'm wondering if their algorithm is way more
involved than that.

A couple minutes ago, while John Gormley was introducing an upcoming
guest, a professor known as Dr. Popsicle (for his research into the
effects of cold on people), I typed "dr " into the search box, and it
suggested 'dr popsicle'. You _can't_ tell me that 'dr popsicle' is the
most common search term starting with 'dr '.

Google must be actively updating the suggestions in realtime. Is it
possible they're also making suggestions based on region?
