> not see it yet.

> Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you
> type. We are pushing the limits of our technology and infrastructure
> to help you get better search results, faster. 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 most obvious change is that you get to the right content much
> faster than before because you don’t have to finish typing your full
> search term, or even press “search.” Another shift is that seeing
> results as you type helps you formulate a better search term by
> providing instant feedback. You can now adapt your search on the fly
> until the results match exactly what you want. In time, we may
> wonder how search ever worked in any other way.
