Google Launches Keyphrase Suggestions
Another change in Google that just seems to have occured is an extension of the spell checker routine that was suggesting the corrects spelling in case a user mistyped a word while searching.
The new addition offers a few more specific search phrases if a user gives a rather 'general' search phrase.
This comes very close to an article by Seth Godin a couple of days ago about the fact that people 'don't know how to search' and the difficulties that the vast Google database has.
Well, apparently Google will try and teach people how to search. Lets try with Seth's example and look for 'shoes':
Google narrows down our search by suggesting some popular options:
Clicking on the Google suggestion on 'running shoes' gives us a new set of keywords that narrows our search even further:
This is a rather neat way of splitting the searches and diluting the results. Google is certain to follow a technique similar to the one offered in Mooter and Kartoo in the very near future...
