Google has added its Suggest feature to its news service Google News.

And seeing the Suggest list gives me a sense of the most common news queries", said Jon McAlister, Software Engineer who developed the application in his 20 per cent of time allocated to work on other projects of his choice.
You can try out the news suggest service at news.google.com
