Google Suggest has been around for quite awhile now, but at the moment I’m noticing it take effect on the regular Google homepage.
Basically, you just begin type in something, and Google will pre-fill beneath your text, trying to guess what you’re looking for, showing you related searches, and showing you the number of results it will find.
I’ve only seen it before by going through Google labs, here at this page
A moment ago I did a search for something, and the search box popped down to bring me suggestions like this, when I begin to type “Internet marketing” –
Is anyone else seeing that?
It’s taking place whether or not I am logged into my Google account…
Hi Scott, I’ve seen it in the past, I’ve seen in on the Korean version of Google, but I’m not seeing it today.
I like the feature! I hope it gets implemented, like full time.
Yawn… Yahoo!’s been doing this for quite some time now. In fact they go a step beyond and suggest related terms for your search, not just providing extensions of what you have already typed.
I think this is an awesome feature since it tells you, in order of volume, some cool SEO longtails for your core phrase. Do yourself a favor and include these ‘exact’ text variations in your latest blog!
This is a cool feature, I’ve never seen it before but I would love to have it!
I wonder how this is going to skew the search metrics for alot of sites. How canb you depend on getting a certain amount of daily traffic (which fluctuates) when other niches/search terms pop up for a user. It devalues your top rankings somewhat. Having said that, it obviously provides a far richer experience for searchers.
I have noticed this at work, but it is not happening on my home computer. I really love this feature.
