The impact on Search

Obviously the user experience while searching on Google will change significantly. The main target of this update is to make the search faster and more targeted. The user will be able to see the results as he types, he will rephrase more frequently and he will select more often the suggested terms. Certainly this feature will save lots of time and hopefully it will become easier to find more targeted and relevant results.
How SEO is affected?

Even if Google has probably not changed the way that evaluates websites, this update will affect the SEO. The popular terms that Google suggests will be selected more frequently and as a result those terms will be searched even more frequently. It is highly possible that users will select a search result before they complete their input and as a result the SEO professionals will focus more on the short tail keywords.
