Google Search Suggestions

I used to be able to see google search suggestions appear as I typed in the search box. I'm not sure what I did but I can no longer get those. The suggestions are just not appearing anymore.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Same here. I only upgraded to 5.0.1 today so the update causing the problem is out. Thought it might be because I had Glims installed but after uninstalling it the search suggestions still aren't working for Google. Yahoo and Bing are fine though.

I re-installed Glims again and removed all Google sites from its search engine list and changed my default search engine in Safari's General prefs too, can't get any search suggestions now AND the Google icon still appears in the search field even though it's not even in the list of search engines to begin with.

Weird problem. Suggestions work fine on Google's homepage though.

i'm going to piggyback here and say i'm experiencing the same issue. i also thought it was something i messed up so glad to see i'm not the only one. i upgraded to 5.0.1 when it first came out and it seems it was initially working, although i can't remember exactly when it stopped working. i only noticed yesterday. @ kurt weber - i assume you're just referring to the google images page? i tried your suggestion and it seems to have no effect on the search suggestions showing up in the standard safari search bar.

UPDATE: just as i was testing to see if yahoo/bing were working i switched back to google and now it's working too! maybe all is back to normal???
