Google Instant Search – Overview and Benefits

Google now enhanced his search feature called Google Instant Search. Google Instant is a new search enhancement feature that shows results as you type in the search box.

Google are pushing the limits of their technology and infrastructure to help you get better search results, faster.

Google key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 ms between key  strokes, but only 30 ms to glance at another part of the page,  means that we are scan a results page while we type.

Now We  get to the right content much faster than before because we don’t have to finish typing our full search term, or even press “search.”

This Google Instant Search change does not impact the ranking of search results.
