If you use Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE 8 to access the Internet, head over to the Google homepage and enter a search query. Instead of pressing the Enter key or clicking the “Search” or “I’m Feeling Lucky” buttons, Google now displays instant search results beneath your query.
Here’s a short video from Google on how Google Instant works.
I admit, I rarely access the Google homepage to perform search. Instead, I enter search queries directly in Chrome’s Omnibox. Personally I find that Omnibox saves me time versus visiting Google’s homepage since most of my searches are to retrieve pages I visited before (and discoverable in my browser history).
Have you tried Google Instant? What are your first impressions?
