Just noticed,
You searching in "City" , "State" name KW and you get some suggested KWS like "Hotels in City" etc.

Is Google out to teach people what to search specially in Travel Industry?

I just saw this happening for 5 Minutes the other day,
now its gone!

Was that a test?

People... anybody else noticed?

(To make myself clear - I searched a City name and on top of SERP, I noticed a line "looking for city hotels, city country , something else").

It has happened in the past. Looks like Google is testing new things again.

Google has been working on this for quite some time now. Its what Altavista has been doing for years. More like a suggestion tool of related queries for users.

Thats going to narrow down KWS targeting, I guess.

bye bye to targeting more open Keywords?

All related terms tested by me have somehting different added to the related

explaining the somehting different about Google related terms:
Searching for black widgets gives related terms:
brand_a black widgets
black widgets city_b
somehting different

the somehhing different is a new search for black widgets but excludes the associated keywords suggested.
In this example, it is a search for
black widgets -brand_a -city_b
