LimeWire's Adam Fisk said "fairly soon".

Well at the heart it is the same what seems to be behind Gnutella2. - It's a search mechanism not relying on broadcast searches but using an iterative walker approach to search Ultrapeers one by one via UDP and stopping once it has found enough results.

trap-jaw said it well... The acronym "GUESS," actually stands for Gnutella UDP Extension for Scalable Searches.

GUESS is a fairly big change to the way searching works on Gnutella. As such, we're working hard to make sure it works right. This means we'll be introducing it incrementally over the next 3 or 4 months, with the first phase starting in a week or so.

You should start to see the initial benefits of GUESS around the middle of January. We wish it could be sooner, but realistically that's about when it will be.
