Yes obviously! If these new features are adopted by users it may mean that websites will, in the future, need to consider how a person is searching and not just what they are searching for when deciding on a SEO strategy.
If you spend a few minutes testing out Googles new search engine features and comparing the results its evident that SEO will be impacted to a significant degree. The good news is that the date feature encourages fresh information development. The bad news is that brands will have to work that much harder to maintain relevant, updated content... or will have to be more creative in social media to make up for minimized SEO control in search.
I hope Im not jumping the gun but if I had to guess I would say this is the biggest change to Google in recent memory. At a very fundamental level, it puts the SERP relevance in the hands of the searcher rather than squarely on Googles algorithm.SEOs are definitely going to have to become more holistic to compete- possibly adding video, blog posting and other content creation to their services.
