Looks like Google has removed Google news suggest. Google news suggest could be activated by adding &complete=1 to the end of the news sarch URL. Having done this, you could get a list of popular queries based on what you type into the search box, similar to to Google suggest.
This was a handy little tool, especially for journalist trying to understand popular search terms around topical news event.
Wonder if this has anything to do with news spam, following reports that Google is ignoring link factors for hot topics.
Google hasn’t made a statement about this, so, could still be a temperory gltich. I certainly hope so.
