Coolest feature I skipped in Google’s iPhone interface: suggested search

Googleautocomplete_2I spent a little more time with the new iPhone interface for Google applications today and either missed one cool feature or it was already there and I never saw it. What is it? When typing in a Google search term, the application will suggest terms based on the characters you entered; just like on the desktop. It’s one thing to bring the desktop apps to the handheld, but even more empowering to bring traditional desktop-only features to them. Again, I might have missed this before today; that’s a real possibility since the official Google news on the new interface doesn’t mention it. Can’t say that I Google too much on my iPhone and when I do, I typically use the dedicated Google search field in mobile Safari. After seeing the suggested searches feature, I’ll probably use the mobile search more often than the dedicated search.
