Thank god you can disable it in settings so easily.<br /><br />It's a useless feature that makes my searches slower and more annoying; and sometimes it loads the results for a search or suggestion I never wanted. On my school network, it's even worse, given that there is low bandwidth and our computers are very old and slow; sometimes Google will freeze - yes freeze - due to lack of memory in the computers. Selecting to disable "Google Instant" is hard to remember each time you fire IE up as well.<br /><br />Now I have to change it each time i turn on Firefox at home, or I have to sign in (since I have strict privacy settings). I've resorted to using the Google search box in the Google toolbar that's been the same for years. It doesn't change while I type, why should anything else?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-16124313023418970502010-09-08T13:48:19.186-07:002010-09-08T13:48:19.186-07:00And AGAIN Opera is left out.

As you type, you can see the results, and make adjustments to your query to get better results without having to touch the mouse or move the focus away from the search entry field. I'm sure it doesn't send a query with every keystroke, but submits the query only after brief breaks in typing. If you take a break after typing each letter, then yeah... a search will be submitted after each letter... but if you type a whole gang of letters at once quickly, then it won't search until you've finished them all. There's no limit to how fast a user can submit queries, and there shouldn't be. It's nice that I no longer need to waste time reaching for my mouse and clicking the search field to enter a new query... I just keep on typing if I don't like the results!James S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-27128690251247128052010-08-28T21:46:50.632-07:002010-08-28T21:46:50.632-07:00Not only it is annoying, unoriginal, and unnecessa...Not only it is annoying, unoriginal, and unnecessary, but it also, if you turn it off (as I do because I don't like the thing) it also automatically turns off the option for results to open in a new window/tab; basically a trade, it seems...MichelGahernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-16231350183060868452010-08-25T08:52:08.901-07:002010-08-25T08:52:08.901-07:00This seems to be interesting and shows power of go...This seems to be interesting and shows power of google's technology.

The idea is to connect your brain more quickly to what you're trying to find-- emphasis on TRYING. This kind of real-time feedback will help both the end-user and Google. Users will not feel so committed to a search that brings up the wrong results as they type, so they are more likely to continue trying variations. More variations makes it easier for Google to analyse the disconnects between what people search for and what they find.davidbitterhttp://davidbitter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-42383416356220614392010-08-23T03:42:42.795-07:002010-08-23T03:42:42.795-07:00and they got rid of "i'm feeling lucky&qu...and they got rid of "i'm feeling lucky" :))Darwyn4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07367213614454536090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-11795350256632609202010-08-23T03:41:47.267-07:002010-08-23T03:41:47.267-07:00once you get used to it, it won't be distracti...once you get used to it, it won't be distractingDarwyn4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07367213614454536090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-83577795164210675902010-08-23T03:39:41.160-07:002010-08-23T03:39:41.160-07:00it's only "visually distracting" bec...it's only "visually distracting" because it's new, but once you get used to it. i've had the pleasure to try it out and i think it's very useful, so i hope they make it permanent.Darwyn4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07367213614454536090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-27950282978273394772010-08-21T17:59:49.786-07:002010-08-21T17:59:49.786-07:00As much fun as this is, from a web developer's...As much fun as this is, from a web developer's point of view, I can't help but ask why would you purposely implement something like this, knowing that it will increase the amount of bandwidth each user uses? I mean, that's a whole page full of search results, with images, every time you hit a key. (And remember, it's not just you, it's everyone on the planet using the site.)<br /><br />It's a really nifty toy (played with the keyboardr site a bit), but I don't see it being nearly as helpful as auto-suggest was. Not to mention it being visually distracting, like others have mentioned.Dr. Fortysevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886497648550454875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-23511307924605684692010-08-21T15:13:31.425-07:002010-08-21T15:13:31.425-07:00Like it!Like it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-7973582444849929622010-08-21T14:32:47.679-07:002010-08-21T14:32:47.679-07:00I don't see any benefit : useless and annoying...I don't see any benefit : useless and annoying !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-76450455594255191542010-08-21T13:16:44.714-07:002010-08-21T13:16:44.714-07:00Very annoying and non original
