I recently talked about Google Suggest from Google Labs and now this tool is going mainstream. According to the offical Google Blog, this will now be the default for the Google search box. You can turn it off if you wish by choosing Preferences and choosing your preferred option under Query Suggestions.

I think it will be interesting to see how this changes search patterns especially long tail terms. This has the possibility to drive more traffic to the more popular results that are predicted by the tool. Loss of traffic for smaller websites dependent on long tail terms? Only time will tell.
