Google Search Suggestions Is Just Dumb
August 29, 2008
As many of you may already know, Google has officially launched its keyword suggestion tool as of yesterday. The keyword phrase suggestion tool acts very similar to what people are accustomed to seeing for over 13 months at Yahoo! where as you type in phrases in the search box, down drops keyword phrase suggestions that allow you as a user to select a targeted phrase from the list as opposed to typing in all the phrases for the search. Pretty cool, right?
Well, I think Google is just dumb with the deployment of this new feature. Why you ask? The keyword phrase suggestion tool ONLY WORKS ONCE at the homepage of Google. In other words, once you have pulled up a set of results from your initial search @ Google's homepage, you never see the suggestions box again if you conduct another search from the resulting search results page. To me, that doesn't make any sense especially taking into account the fact this search feature has been in Beta/testing mode for over 3 years. You would think Google would have figured out this 'bug" prior to taking the feature out of Beta and in to the mainstream.
Perhaps Google is just "testing" the new feature at the homepage level to see how people are using it before they roll it out entirely? Time will tell I suppose.

Hmm... not sure what web browser your using but the google search bar that can be added onto a browsers toolbar drops the keyword phrases no matter where I am in my browser. I use Firefox. I tried this in Safari and it doesn't work like you said. But if its really that big of an issue to you just get a different browser. Besides that, Google isn't to blame imo, it is your browsers incompatibility with Google.
Maybe you should fully research something before complaining about it. Just my opinion...
