Google Instant - Instant Search as you Type

Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type. Google Instant helps users find information faster by showing relevant results as a query is typed. As users get this immediate feedback, they're able to refine their searches more quickly and find the results that more precisely match what they need. As a result, we expect increased user engagement with our search services, including ads.

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.

Smarter Predictions – Google’s auto complete technology to show predicted search terms in a drop-down box, and begins to display search results below the drop-down.

Faster searches – Smarter predictions that help guide user searches, and instant results that let the searcher see results without clicking a search button or pressing enter. (It saves 2-5 seconds per search according to Google research)

Safe content filtered - Queries that may be considered offensive or lewd don’t work in Google Instant. In these cases, Google stops showing search predictions and search results, and instead displays a “Press Enter to search” message below the search box.
