They do not only show the search bottons in the dropdown suggestion box, they also seem to be able to show addwords at the bottom of the suggestion box.
I’ve not been able to reproduce this myself, maybe because I’m outside of the USA, but I’ve seen a screenshot of it (I think on the webpronews site, if I remember well).

the results (quantities ) arent showing now in the dropdown, I use firefox to get those numbers since explorer didnt, now firefox isnt showing the quantities like youre showing above, is that gone?
I heard that Google can penalize your ip from searching too many times and this quantity dropdown helped because I never really hit the search button, only looked at the quantities in the drop down, is it gone or how do I make the quantites show again? for firefox or IE?
thanks, youve been the closest Ive found to even showing the quantities
