Yahoo Employs Search Suggestion

Yahoo is about to launch Search Suggest in the UK that assist users when a search query is typed. The US Yahoo search suggestion was launched last July in the United States and the search tool can be turned off by clicking "more" in the upper toolbar and then "Disable Search Suggestions".

I would be curious to see how many people actually use search suggestions as it appears to me to be easier to finish typing the query versus stopping or reading what is coming up beneath the search box and using the mouse or arrow buttons to scroll down and enter the suggested search.
