Eight principals for good search suggestions

Avi Rappoport has written an article on search suggestions (aka "best bets"). To quote:

Search suggestion systems complement search engine results with human judgement, providing links to specific landing pages for common search terms where the algorithmic results may be confusing or unavailable. (For more information, see my Search Suggestions analysis). This is a list of eight principals to keep in mind when administering a search suggestions system.
