The option to get an extended list of related searches has been removed from the toolbelt. I think it was more useful than the wonder wheel, which only works for a small number of queries.

Any idea why it is gone?
It was very helpful. |
Because it made the Wonder Wheel (!) useless? ;) |
I think the UI was pretty poor and the page looked cluttered. Yahoo's Search Assist is a better implementation of the same idea, but I don't like that the related concepts are added to the original search:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=phone&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz2#ft=cell%20phones&fq=phone%20%22cell%20phones%22 |
They would not have gone through the big fanfare and release of these features (including Related Searches) at Searchology only to remove one of them after only 10 days.
Something else must be going on with Related Searches.... hmmm |
