Google Instant

Have you noticed a change this month when you put search terms into Google? Google recently changed its default search on its search engine to "Google Instant" for most web browsers. The key feature of Google Instant is its "predictive searching." Google tries to predict what you are searching for as you type in your terms. The top prediction is shown in grey text directly in the search box. The results are updated as you continue to type new characters into the search field. If you don't like Google Instant, you can turn it off. Just click the link next to the search box on any search results page. (You can also change the settings in your Google Account preferences).
