Yahoo! Search Assist

When you search something in the front page of yahoo.com, it will give you suggestions, words that include what you are searching. When you try searching again, it will sense that you have some difficulty in finding words. It will give you another category called Explore Concepts, it is a list of topics related to the word you are trying to find.

Example: I searched 'Brain drain', when I tried typing again, it will show related topics like 'immigrants, united states, canada, etc'.
