Google Testing Instant Search Feature

Posted by samzenpus on from the get-it-before-you-want-it dept.

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."

    The instant search is not directly based on what you type, it is based on the suggestions google gives you.
    As you type "chee", you will see the results for "cheesecake", and for "cheese and b" you will have the results for "cheese and burger society".

    Google charges per click though.

    You don't pay CPM on Google, it's Cost Per Click. Wouldn't make the slightest difference except to slightly shift the Click Through Rate.
