Looks like Yahoo has been experimenting with a Google Suggest feature which provides users with suggestions while they type their query, in Hong Kong.

[search.hk.yahoo.com...]

One interesting part is, the long tail just became smaller on one of our Hong Kong sites.

Another thing, the data looks pretty good, it does a fairly good job with english queries and seperates plurals pretty well.

Great tool for some more keyword research and fine tuning.

Cool find shri. I looked around the other regional Yahoos and didn't see that yet. It took me a little bit to figure the feature out at first because I normally surf with JavaScript and other plug-ins turned off. That could be really handy for keyword research.

I don't type chinese .. but am having a lot of fun using google translate followed by a quick copy / paste into that box and then using google trends and similar words that Yahoo identifies .. back to google translate.

Interesting exercise... now if Google would open up the traditional chinese Adsense... ;)
