NewsBot Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Google Wednesday launched a new search feature called Google Instant, which offers search results as you are typing your query terms. Around this time two years ago, Google unveiled Suggest, a feature which predicted what searchers were looking for as it was being typed in the Google search field. Instant takes this a step further and provides the actual results so the user doesn't have to even click "search" or hit enter.

Administrator Tarun Posted September 9, 2010 Administrator Share Posted September 9, 2010 Oh yes, because Google hasn't ripping anything off from Bing... (Custom background images for the Google home search page for example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Good point. +1 Google definitely took custom background images from Bing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted September 10, 2010 Administrator Share Posted September 10, 2010 I just earlier read that Bing said they've been working on the same thing Google just released for a bit now. Interesting, will have to post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 They all copy each other, just like the browsers do. Personally, I don't care who's ripping off whom; as long as the user benefits with improved functionality, it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Good point. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Competition is good for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I don't like this function. To me, it doesn't seem very good, and I think it is just annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted September 11, 2010 Administrator Share Posted September 11, 2010 I agree. It makes searching feel slower really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_A Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I don't like it either, so I turned it off in Search settings (http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en). I found it really annoying. You used to be able to turn off the predictions for your search, but now you can't do that any more, just turn off Google Instant. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
