Instant Google powering search engine with Keyboard navigation

Google

The power packed Google search engine does it again. It has delivered what it promised. Google had quoted earlier this year that soon we will search what you are ‘thinking’ and that is what they have done.

Google instant technology has powered the world of it’s search engine with just the magic of Keyboard navigation technique.

The new and amazing Google Instant is one of the best search engine enhancements that suggests results ‘even as you start to type’.

How does it Work:

1. Let’s say you are on Google and your page looks like this:

2. You Punch in your first letter of your word that you are looking for and the screen jumps to the search results page as it simultaneously suggests searches for you:

Google instant quicker search engine results

Search engine keyword suggestions

3. Note: As you keep typing the suggested links / results keep changing

Both the suggestions: First suggestion in Grey Text as you keep typing and the second drop down suggestions below with constantly changing link / landings

Google quotes on their blog, ‘Our key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 milliseconds between keystrokes, but only 30 milliseconds (a tenth of the time!) to glance at another part of the page. This means that you can scan a results page while you type.’

The key benefits:

The results take you through as you type the letters: This is amazing. For instant, when you are on the GOOGLE page and you try to enter the first letter, it automatically jumps to the selection search engine display page wherein it starts suggesting based on the first letter itself.
Amazingly quick results based on predictions, Google save 2-5 seconds per search.
Double Enhanced predictions: One prediction is shown in grey text directly in the search box and the other are the drop down multiple options for you to choose from.
You do not have to hit the Enter key or click with your mouse, just keep typing, looking, reading and Woolah, your results are in front of your screen.
