Well you could have fooled me.  If this has been in fact implemented by Google, it is mighty funny how I have never seen it?  What I have seen are suggestions listed at the very bottom of the search results page.  And, occasionally on the top of the page.  I tend to filter all that stuff out anyway, because I have trained myself to ignore paid advertisements on the search pages.  Ergo, I expect to see little to no impact, in the immediate future.

This will have an effect on long tail keywords, but not as much as you might think, is my guess. How many people go to the Google home page to search, I would have to think less than half. Every browser now has google built in. That browser already has suggest like features built in. So most people have been using it for a long time.

@140local good point.  I personally search using the toolbar in Firefox.  I rarely find myself at the home page unless I working on some advandced link operators.
