Instant searching gratification

This week, Google made it possible to get instant gratification when it comes to search results. This, as a result of Google Instant Search being released to a semi-unsuspecting world.
As the name suggests, Google’s search results now change instantly based upon keyword entries. Type in a word, and instantly the screen changes, and displays appropriate keywords. With the addition of this new feature, we’ll save anywhere from 2-5 seconds per query, according to Google.
Perhaps the most useful component of this new feature is the elimination of the need to hit “Enter” following a query. Now, search results will instantly appear on the screen, making searching quick and easy.
Although there do appear to be some flaws– the Instant Search feature is dependent upon a high-speed connection without any slowdowns– it is overall a great feature, which will put answers at users’ fingertips faster than ever before.
