iTunes search now auto completes

It looks like Apple has unleashed another new iTunes feature tonight, in addition to ringtones. Now when you search the iTunes Store using iTunes 7.4.1 (haven't tried it in an older version) the search offers up some auto complete options. As you can see above I was searching for They Might Be Giants and like magic iTunes knew.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Hi cool BUT!!!!! I see that apple removes from itunes search the option to search Genre!!!!! I have organizated my music by genre so! and now I cant search by Genre with ALL search!
I have it of that way by example:
Jazz: Bebop
Jazz: Free
Jazz: Smooth
Jazz: Electronic
SO! WHEN I PUT IN SEARCH: Jazz: (yeah with 2points : ) itunes show me just the jazz albums and it was perfect!!
NOW WHEN I PUT Jazz: DONT APPEAR NATHING, WHY REMOVE THE GENRE SEARCH
PLAESE IF ANYBODY KNOW... EVERYTHING LET ME KNOW!

A lot of people don't like the idea of paying *again* for a song they already bought.

But why can you only do it in Album View and not in Cover Flow? And how come they haven't updated Cover Flow in iTunes to work like it does on the iPhone and iPod Touch, where you click it and it flips to get a track listing...? If they did this you could stay in Cover Flow mode and it would be far more than simply a 'pretty' way to play music.
Seems it's been a while since iTunes had a proper update.
Too bad they can't get Safari to do that w/o a 3rd party plugin! Not a big deal until Leopard.
