Google’s continuing to rapidly evolve its Instant search results tool, with testing of full-page previews.  They offer detailed insight to search results as you’re searching, letting you see a website before clicking on it.  The goal here is to save even more time during a query.

Though instant previews are still only experimental features, they shed light on the many tweaks Google is compounding in order to streamline your search process.  Searching smarter instead of harder is a concept we’d all love to benefit from, and shaving off a few milliseconds here and there happens to be the pride of Google’s search technology.

Google has already added similar preview functions to image search, which has gotten far more visually oriented by nature.  Nevertheless, it’s clear that Google needs to continue to make it a simpler process to access search information, as it hopes to gain more consumer appeal and ward of progress Microsoft is making with Bing.

While the fast-paced upgrades to Google Instant are promising of its future search-and-solve capabilities, the company is still working out other issues affecting the tool from a usability and political standpoint.  The question of censoring Google Instant search is one that won’t go away anytime soon, as terms like curse words and such will not aid in your Instant queries.  This is something Google will have to work out moving forward, remaining interested in consumer and public demands.
