What is nice in all that it that we still have things to learn, whether it is thanks to google changing the rules or people like you that show new ways. Thanks for the idea, Linda.

Ahh, ok back atcha.

I see what you’re saying now. I’d been doing all my research on the homepage. Once you get to the serps page, you’re right Suggest isn’t there.

Ahh, ok. What I am seeing is the new page, as seen above, is on the google home page. Once you actually do a search, the search page changes back to the old way. Subsequent searches are not of the new format.

Perhaps they are still working on that.

Oh to be clear, Suggest is only on the Google homepage. You may be looking at and talking about the Google search bar which I’m not certain if it will even show Suggest results.

Hi Jeff,

Suggest, like I said is rolling out through all the data centers right now and many already have it. It just updated for me last night. It looks just like the screen shot above – in fact that’s how I got the screen shot.

Google actually went down for me for about 10 minutes last night and I thought what the??? Then when it came back up Google Suggest was working on the G homepage.

No, google suggest is not the standard yet. Currently when you type in the google search bar, you will see some of your previous searches as you type. This is not the same as the google suggest which will do the same for all searches as well as tell you how many results there are.
