Does Google provide API access to autocomplete for search like on the actual site? I have not been able to find anything.

I would like to use Google's autocomplete logic for web search on my own site which relies on Google's search API.

The new url is:

http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q=YOURQUERY

the client part is required; I did't test other clients.

[EDIT]

If you want the callback use this:

http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=chrome&q=YOURQUERY&callback=callback

As @Quandary found out; the callback does not work with client "firefox".

[EDIT2]

As indicated by @ user2067021 this api will stop working as of 10-08-2015: Update on the Autocomplete API
