Google is coming out with a new tag called ‘unavailable_after’ which will allow people to tell Google when a particular page will no longer be available for crawling. For instance, if you have a special offer on your site that expires on a particular date, you might want to use the unavailable_after tag to let Google know when to stop indexing it.

Yahoo! introduces Search Suggest:

It works like this: When you do a search on Yahoo!, you’ll automatically be given suggestions based on what you have typed - as you’re typing.

So, not only does this limit the number of words you need to type into a query, it may also present similar queries to shorten your searching time and get to what you’re looking for quicker.
