Google Search Suggestions Helps You Go Back

Google Operating System noticed that Google’s Search suggestions got smarter. Google Suggest, as you type, shows you search suggestions to help you complete your query. But what if you want to refine that query? Google will show you refinements to the search suggestions with the single addition of a letter, even in the middle of the query. Let me show you how this works:

Here, you can see I am typing in [search expo]:

I then remember it is search marketing expo, so I add an ‘m’ before expo, so it reads [search mexpo] in my query. As you can see, even though the word is mexpo, Google shows me search suggestions for search marketing expo:

One Comment on Google Search Suggestions Helps You Go Back

TulsaMarketing,

Sweet! Almost regex support in the search line. I wonder if there are actual ways to use additional commands on the search line to do full regex for more thorough searching. This is a nice find, though.
