Google is testing a new feature called "Alternate Searches" intended to enhance the user search experience. Other search engines like Yahoo! or AskJeeves have included in their results pages some suggestions of related searches. Google never wanted to add these links but Nate Tyler (from Google) confirmed to Andy Beal that they are running a limited test of this new interface
.
This new interface includes a new link at the bottom of a Google results page. The link Try Alternate Searches
, when clicked on, takes you to a page that includes other suggest keyword searches, you may want to consider.
Google's option is different from other search engines' because Google's Try Alternate Searches
takes the concept one step further by offering a link to a page showing the top-3 searches for common popular variations of the entered search term.
