Google Instant : Your Mobiles Will Have It Soon

Google Instant will soon available for Mobile phone users and they should soon be able to enjoy this new feature when accessing Google search on their devices. Google Instant has been recently released for desktop PCs, and which was already tested for mobile devices, it seems. We can hope that the new feature will first available for handsets running under Google's Android operating system in the beginning, as the company usually does so, but more devices might also get it soon after.

According to Mr. Marissa Mayer, VP Search Products & User Experience, “Google Instant is search-before-you-type. Instant takes what you have typed already, predicts the most likely completion and streams results in real-time for those predictions—yielding a smarter and faster search that is interactive, predictive and powerful”.

Google Instant perform searches even before one finishes typing the query, which means that the results will come much faster than before. Currently released for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE 8, the solution is being tested for use on mobile phones too, at least this is what a recent post on Engadget suggests.

The solution is meant to offer users three Instant results under the search box. As the photo attached to this article shows, users would receive one search result between Android's notifications bar and the native keyboard auto-complete bar, without scrolling. It seems that Google plans on making the solution available in the near future on any AJAX-capable mobile browser, and that Android users would get it pretty soon, the same applying to Apple's iphone.
