In addition to constantly improving our search algorithms to
provide the best answer to your queries, we also look for ways to
help when you don't know what exactly to type into the search
box to get to the perfect result. When you are looking for
information on a specific topic, we offer query suggestions on the
search results page that you can click on to find information
faster. Sometimes, the suggestions enable you to quickly narrow
down the search. Sometimes, we present interesting related concepts
that encourage you to explore further.

You won't see these suggestions all the time; we only present
them when we think they are relevant and useful.

We launched search suggestions in a set of countries a while ago,
and even wrote about them in href="http://google-au.blogspot.com/2007/06/may-i-offer-you-suggestion.html"
id="d0zk" >Australia, href="http://googlebrasilblog.blogspot.com/2007/09/posso-te-dar-uma-sugesto.html"
id="uaxh" >Brazil and href="http://googlemexicoblog.blogspot.com/2007/06/por-abhinandan-das-ingeniero-de.html"
id="zve6" >Mexico. Now, we've expanded our
coverage to a much larger set of languages. Now, when you're
searching on Google you're likely to see suggestions in your
local language.

For help with local travel, Hungarians can get some great
suggestions on href="http://www.google.hu/search?hl=hu&q=budapest" id="drdj"

>bratislava, and Romanians can find helpful
information on href="http://www.google.ro/search?hl=ro&q=bucuresti" id="r5px"
>bucuresti. In Thailand, you're probably
interested in relaxing on a beach in href="http://www.google.co.th/search?hl=th&q=phuket" id="hxpo"
>phuket. If you are in Vietnam, you might search
the popular tourist destinations href="http://www.google.com.vn/search?q=nha trang " id="n97v"
>Nha Trang or href="http://www.google.com.vn/search?q=hoi an " id="aqqk" >Hoi
An.

If you are in soccer-crazed (read, football crazed) Europe, you can
look up your favorite football topics on Google. Check out how your
local Moscow href="http://www.google.ru/search?complete=1&hl=ru&newwindow=1&q=футбол"
id="sd1j" >футбол team, href="http://www.google.ru/search?complete=1&hl=ru&q=спартак"
id="dnao" >спартак is doing. Turkish fans can
also search local stars from href="http://www.google.com.tr/search?hl=tr&q=galatasaray"
id="idb7" >galatasaray or href="http://www.google.com.tr/search?hl=tr&q=beşiktaş"
id="xfwt" >beşiktaş.

Looking for a local entertainment update? Look up your favorite
singers href="http://www.google.co.il/search?hl=iw&q=שלמה ארצי "
id="i-d7" >שלמה ארצי in Israel, and href="http://www.google.com.tr/search?hl=tr&q=ibrahim tatlises"
id="hg_x" >ibrahim tatlises in Turkey.
Russians, you could be interested in the popular Russian TV series
href="http://www.google.ru/search?complete=1&hl=ru&q=кадетство"

Query suggestions are now available in about 40 languages
worldwide. If you don't see them in your country, we're
working on getting them to you soon.
