Google Instant Search
Tuesday, September 14th, 2010Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type. Google Instant is already available to users on Google domains in the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Russia. This feature will be released in Google Australia over the next several months.
The most obvious change is that you get to the right content much faster than before because you don’t have to finish typing your full search term, or even press “search.” Another shift is that seeing results as you type helps you formulate a better search term by providing instant feedback. You can now adapt your search on the fly until the results match exactly what you want.
Benefits
• Faster Searches: By predicting your search and showing results before you finish typing, Google Instant can save 2-5 seconds per search.
• Smarter Predictions: Even when you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, predictions help guide your search. The top prediction is shown in grey text directly in the search box, so you can stop typing as soon as you see what you need.
• Instant Results: Start typing and results appear right before your eyes. Until now, you had to type a full search term, hit return, and hope for the right results. Now results appear instantly as you type, helping you see where you’re headed, every step of the way.
