This one really surprised me. I was searching for a company of a friend of mine (http://www.travelintelligence.com/) and had typed in “Travel Intel” when the type-ahead gave me what looked like a AdWord. Curious, I clicked on it and sure enough it went straight through to the site and never gave me a SERP (search result page) for Google.
I noticed recently that Google has made some changes to the way type ahead works in a number of places but this was the first time I had seen this. In fact, I tested it on a couple of other travel brand names and got the same thing. Not sure if Google is charging for the keyword as they do a normal one but interested to learn more.
