Rather than comment in depth, I'll refer to my comments from May... there's a whole lot of this kind of thing in development across the search engines.

The idea is great and I’m sure they could expand the spectrum to cover more than 2 areas. The little testing I did didn’t work to well though, websites showing up in ’shopping’ that should have been in ‘researching’ and vice versa, but it’s still in beta so I guess it will improve :)

Pretty cool idea, and I can see how it can be a valuable tool. The results I came up with for Atlanta Hotels was pretty accurate in my opinion.

I have played with it a little, and I think the concept is great. Sure the results need a little work, but it will get better.

No doubt, the idea will help seachers to easily find what they need. The name just suits it, “Mindset”.

Excellent search features like MindSet will eventually force a change in SEO as we know it. Sure, we can tell our clients we’ll get you top rankings in “commercial”, “informational”, “local”, or “shopping” results, but good luck tracking all of that effectively. Top rankings are going out the window to be replaced by site performance. Bringing in targeted traffic and increasing sales matters more than being #1 for keyword X.
