Google AI Mode also has search suggestions in the follow-up section. After you ask Google AI Mode a question and scroll down to ask a follow-up, Google may show you follow-up search suggestions.
I am not sure if this is new, a test or something we have not seen yet but it seems new to me.
This was spotted by Kenichi Suzuki who posted about it on LinkedIn - he shared this screenshot:
I tried to replicate it but I was not able to.
Is this new?
As you know, Google is heavy into search suggestions and auto-complete within Google Search. This helps people search but more importantly, for Google, it helps generate more queries - maybe queries they can monetize.
I wonder how many people conduct follow up on questions on AI Mode compared to normal search.
Forum discussion at LinkedIn.
Update: These can also show up later on in the AI Mode results:
Looks like the questions unit in AI Mode is now showing outside of labs. It's now different for the "baby gifts" query that I originally used also, which is expected when outside of labs. Great one to keep an eye out for! https://t.co/XwwKbCXCU0 pic.twitter.com/8KylYtUqy2
