Google Testing Instant Search Feature
adeelarshad82 writes "According to a recently released video, Google is currently testing an 'instant search' feature that changes search results as you type. The feature was first spotted over the weekend. At the moment Instant Search seems to be implemented on very few accounts. A Google spokesman could not confirm or deny the accuracy of the video saying that at any given moment Google is running 50 to 200 experiments."
Yes, we all know emacs did it first.

yeah ... what about the word "Analysis"
Yes, because incremental search on a text editor and on a search engine are the exact same thing.
yes, that's the correct spelling
Doesn't it have a D on the end? Or is this some kind of salted pastry?
Brain surgery - it's not rocket science!
Searching for "vague" could also provide some... interesting results, especially considering how close "u" and "i" are. For those of you who are having this read out to you, I was referring to the letters "u" and "i" on a standard QWERTY keyboard.
I wonder if searching for information on God would result in finding giddy girls as a result of a typo.
Clearly, they should name this feature ITH - "Instant Typo Heaven".
...for anyone doing a search on the term analyst.
Or searching for information about shitake mushrooms.
Or looking for the latest football results for Arsenal.
Or cocktail recipes.
People should not be afraid of their governments - Governments should be afraid of their people.
Whatever you do, just don't do looking for goat security.
All you have to do is run:
emacs http://*
and then wait a really long time.
