On Android, the auto-suggest answers
show up in the drop down menu
below what you're typing, along with other auto-suggestions. The number of
queries with auto-suggested answers aren't as expansive as the results you get on the desktop when Google auto-loads a search results page before you
finish typing. Still, the new feature comes in handy for very specific searches
