Google - the one stop search engine for anything and everything under the sky or above the sky or even in the sky..[:)]. Google so went into the minds of people that we are using it as a verb also now.
I can't even imagine the world without Google. I guess, am not exaggarating. I am so used to it. I guess there a lot of people like me. For me its Pre-Google era and Post-Google era.
Now Google has come up with Google Instant...The first time I saw, I liked it already.
It shows results as you type. Google gives better search results and now it gives them even faster.
This is what Google has to say about Google Instant - "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.
Did you know:
- Before Google Instant, the typical searcher took more than 9 seconds to enter a search term, and we saw many examples of searches that took 30-90 seconds to type.
- Using Google Instant can save 2-5 seconds per search.
- If everyone uses Google Instant globally, we estimate this will save more than 3.5 billion seconds a day. That’s 11 hours saved every second. (Wow...!!!)
- 15 new technologies contribute to Google Instant functionality."
