The instant search results from Google

[Nomar]

What do you think of them? I really have to get used to it, when I type the first letters google is generating all these results like a madman. I don't really like it (yet).

When I want to search for something, I have a word or phrase in mind and going to type it anyway.. This is distracting, I stop typing to see whats on the top 3 and when there is nothing useful in it, i go on and type...

What are your experiences?

Google instant might create a big change in SEO industry as it will make people to learn how to search differently and effectively over time. So the varieties of keyword options with different key-phrase will increase to a huge amount.

Even Matt Cutt have also stated in his recent blog that could be a change of search pattern of visitors.

I like them Have to get used to them, but I think this is good... don't know about the whole SEO change

I think its an interesting idea but I am not sure how long it will take for people to get used to using that instead of what it used to be.

It actually bugs me a bit, just because it sometimes sidetracks me from my mission at hand when I do go to search for things; I like to have a plan in motion when I search.

I use Chrome and so I normally do a Google search by using the address bar, which means the instant search option doesn't happen.

I love it as a searcher and I absolutely detest it as a website owner. The day after it was released, traffic to my sites plummeted because people were finding the results they needed for Political Com rather than the entire keyword I rank for. So, it was obnoxious.
