It was just released - and like all Google stuff, will probably roll out over the next few days.
It's live on my desk and it's sweet. Basically you start typing the first letter of something ('w' for 'weather' for example) and it instantly starts searching for that. http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/08/google-announces-google-instant-search/ |

How does one become one of those certain users? Because it's doing it for me and I didn't sign up for anything. |

I would like it more if you didn't have to be signed in to search. But it is a nice improvement. Coming from a software engineering background, it is quite the challenging project..

Thats not what he's talking about. if you're NOT talking about the suggestion box and its something 'new' or 'different' then google automatically signed you up. They just pick users. |

Fancy stuff, I'll tell you what.

I can't stand the new setup. I've tried opting out via search settings, but it won't take hold. I'm now using bing.

I don't see much utility in it, but it is a neat toy. Maybe I'll come around.
They seem to have blacklisted certain words. Try "vagina" "fuck" etc and see what happens. |

I've de-googled my Android phone as step one of the 12 Step Program.
ETA: Google has been doing this for a while. Problem is that I type fast enough that it's usually to slow to make predictions. |

You're think of it auto-completing the words. Now, it takes those auto-completed words and starts searching on them as you type it - thus displaying a list of search material relevant to the word you're typing. |

One press of the "w" key brought up local weather results instantaneously. Google's also integrated a predictive algorithm into Instant, which it describes as a "psychic element ... in that we're able to predict what you're going to type. Google becomes search before you type." Scroll to search is another touted feature, whereby going up or down through the suggested dropbox searches (as in the image above) also automatically updates your results in line with the suggestion you've got highlighted." |
