Google Search Instant Debuts
This morning Google introduced Google Instant on its home page, the new feature is aiming to predict your search and to show results before you finish typing, Google Instant can save 2-5 seconds per search.
Google takes what you have typed already, predicts the most likely completion and streams results in real-time. If you don’t want to see results as you type, you can turn off Google Instant by clicking the link next to the search box on any search results page, or by visiting your Preferences page.
Here are a few of the core features in Google Instant:
- Dynamic Results – Google dynamically displays relevant search results as you type so you can quickly interact and click through to the web content you need.
- Predictions – One of the key technologies in Google Instant is that we predict the rest of your query (in light gray text) before you finish typing. See what you need? Stop typing, look down and find what you’re looking for.
- Scroll to search – Scroll through predictions and see results instantly for each as you arrow down.
Here’s a video that explains Google Instant in greater depth:
As part of the current rollout, Google Instant will become the core search experience on Google.com for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE 8. Google Instant will be available to users in France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain and the U.K. who are signed in and have Instant-capable browsers.
