I hadn't even considered this possibility... If this is the case, webmasters can also opt to reoptimize their websites for these 'Adwords' keywords. Additionally, the search feature is only on the main homepage. Users probably perform more searches from inner Google pages, so... there will still be a lot of user-selected search terms.

I'm pretty tech-literate, but I still find the suggestions Google currently offers in the toolbar version are often useful, especially when I'm not at my brightest! They can help me more quickly find a way to phrase my query, or they can suggest queries I hadn't thought of, which can lead to useful tangents Cheers, Jon Interesting discussion, Patrick and Roger

I'm inclined to agree with your analysis that this will funnel folks towards the shorttail where advertisers abound. Should also cut into the margins of search campaigns that took the time to build out well and create massive keyword lists with targeted copy, since they'll have less volume. All for one, and Google for itself ;). P.s. I like threaded comments. I like the commentary Pat.

I don't like your commenting system. Just wanted you to know that it is really irritating and likely to keep me from commeting in the future. Cheers for the chat. :) PS.

I think my point still stands regardless of the numbers you replace my with, no?

An aunt called me the other day to help her find music lyrics online. And I said "Auntie...(in that cute way), all you need to do is put "'s around a specific....." and you your song will come up usually right away. They don't know. The fastest growing demographic has no idea how to find their information so no way Suggest can be bad as they are users that would never find the long-tail but they might once they get their head around it. Same with my sister she is in her 40's which means she is in her highest earning years and she has no clue. That is a huge amount of the market the long-tail isn't even reaching which means the current 'online' long-tail is reaching 5% of 5% (just an example don't quote me), if you know what I mean.
