If you enjoy Google Suggest, the feature that autocompletes your query with the most frequent expressions that have been searched, it's a good thing to know that Google News has its own suggest feature. And if Google Suggest is interesting but not very useful most of the times, Google News Suggest will create a list of expressions from the most important recent news that match what you've typed.
You type [michael] (or only the first three letters) and you see the most important Michaels in the news. Select [Michael Jackson] and you'll see keywords from recent news that involved the pop star.
