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’. It’s pure technology growing rapidly under the influence of ‘keyboard navigation’ No more waiting to use the mouse to click the options or hit on search to see your results.

How does it Work:

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

Google Page

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:

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.

GOOGLE INSTANT:

Now “WHAT IF” you DO NOT WANT your google page to guide or suggest as you type. Simple. Click the link next to the search box or go to your preferences page for the options (both options as shown in the highlighted section in the image below)

For others, well, go ahead, search your queries away instantly and land right on spot!

Happy learning.

Google Wave – Part 2

They have the web at their disposal.

They have the technology and the thinking.

They have the cast,  crew and their ever loyal followers.

No wonder they have all the buzz too.

The google wave caught one and all with it’s amazingly equipped features (Click to read – ‘Google Wave – Part1 & Part2’).

Now the new buzz has plenty of features integrated too. The likes of Twitter applications and the many core features of today’s social messiah, Facebook too are integrated into the buzz.

To start with, the millions of existing gmail users are already a part of the buzz. The idea as quoted by the Vice President of Google for product management Mr.Bradley Horowitz behind the buzz was to blend the two core of any social connect today, sharing and that too in real time. The features allow you as an individual and as an entrepreneur to use the buzz of social media to the core to connect with your peers and friends in real time.

Core features:

Auto Following – Connect with the existing millions of your friends and connections from GMAIL

Integrate with your Inbox and share pictures and videos and receive real time comments

google buzz

Connect with your sites too.

Twitter like comments and feeds are posted and also one can send messages by sending a “@individual” accounts too. Biggie here being no 140 character limit and one can post feeds or messages including images etc. and tag it as part of the gmail reply feature too to connect and reply in real time.

Flickr, Picasa, Youtube Videos share and other pictures are shared easily.

Create a group of your own set of contacts and post updates, your own content, news and messages to them. Respond, interact and get responses like “Likes / Comments” instantaneously.  Gather your feedback and respond on the go.

One can integrate it with your phone through ‘Google Mobile’s Website’ – use “buzz.google.com”.  Once done, users can post through voice recognition, place pages can be integrated with geo tags and all in real time. With this Google has added another catchy feature of knowing what those “geotagged” nearby people are talking about by using the nearby feature on your phone.

Get going with the new wave

That’s right, the much awaited Google wave is out and the current experience in the last 3 hours or so of mine with it, tells me, the amazingly crazy genius freaks at Google could not have come up with a better name than ‘wave’.

I have hardly got the hang of it and I am already getting an amazing kick out of using the awesome applications integrated with it. A nice kick, might I add.

Tools, applications, widgets, blogging, chat, conversations, video & voice never looked better.

To start with here is the logo of the wave:

Google Wave

Now entering into the wave:

One word that would describe the ultimate usability factor of wave is “Time”. Time saving seems to be the core behind the app.

Email replies have taken a new meaning to the term conversing.

Real time message typing between users  - No need to even click on send if time is a major constraint. Just type. For eg. When the users who are online are conversing with each other using Google wave, the conversations happen in real time. ie. to say in email as one types his reply to the wave started by another, the first wave creator can see the message as it is being typed in real time. The email has taken the chat system to a different level altogether.

Adding contacts to the conversation is nothing more than a single drag & drop to the wave box on top of the application.

Editing emails simultaneously by users who are part of the conversation looks great and it acts like  chat function but via email.

The amazingly magical “Playback” feature helps to show markups of editing done in earlier conversations which are to be read through are fabulous and that too in real time environments such as a meeting conversation taking place, the app just makes it remarkable. Take for example in a scenario wherein a new wave entrant has been added to the conversation who has missed out on the beginning of the discussions, all he needs to do is just hit the playback button on top and get a hang of the earlier discussions in a jiffy.

Other Features: In case of an ongoing wave, if the user does not want to type his message in real time, he can click on the check box and make it a regular email feature. Moreover, once you have finished typing you can open your contacts pop-up box and simply add as many people in just a matter of milliseconds and even make them part of the conversation and all this again in real time.

Another remarkable feature is the stupendous spell check integrated with Wave. Its probably one of the best features integrated with the wave.

The integration is so powerful with email that all tools linked like chat / real time conversations / meeting conversations / group conversations / video etc are beautifully put into one single application use and made email a conversational pleasure that saves time to an amazing extent.

Adding attachments, wow, that’s now a real joy. Just drag and drop them into your reply box. It’s done.

Creating photo albums is again just a simple drag & drop feature, plus with the new “tags” function integrated with the inbox, all apps can be now tagged and one can go to the extent of creating Weblinks / as the Google says, wavelinks to make the whole feel, like a webpage being browsed rather than images / text being searched for.

Orkut integrations again happen in real time meaning all your cool features are integrated into this feature, so a scrap is not just a scrap anymore, it becomes a wave and is stored as part of your inbox conversation.

Also to avoid too many follow ups on conversations in the inbox, one can easily unfollow a conversation that he has been part of to avoid clogging up of your inbox.

Blogging once integrated with the api of the wave again happenes in real time, i.e edits done to a blog can be seen on the google wave, pics can be edited right from your inbox and gets updated on your blog real time. So adding comments and conversing in your blog was never so easy.

The wave has some real cool apps for Mobile phones too, but I need to try them out before I make any comments on them.

To sum up the so far tested from the million other features that Google wave has to offer:

It’s a definite must have!

Summing up:

• Real time emailing and conversing
• Privacy & controls over conversations
• Splendid spell check feature happening in real time as message gets typed
• Adding any number of contacts to an ongoing wave
• Playback feature takes even a new wave entrant to the original conversation
• Superb application tools like Maps, interactive games like sudoku, conference etc can be added and played in real time with each other
• Web toolkit of Google makes tremendous contributions in taking wave to a totally new level

• Wave integrates as many tools as one can into one single application

• Drag & drop attachments to your replies / mails / waves in a single click
