Google Instant makes searching even faster with visual results

Just when you thought Google's new Instant Search - with results appearing faster than you can type - was the epitome of fast search on the web, the company has gone and added Instant Previews.

Instead of relying on a URL and text summary of each page, users can now click on the magnifying glass next to their search results (or hit the right arrow key on the keyboard) to see a graphic overview of the relevant sections from pages in their search results.

"In our testing, we've found that people who use Instant Previews are about 5% more likely to be satisfied with the results they click. The previews provide new ways to evaluate search results, making you more likely to find what you're looking for on the pages you visit," says Google Web Search Product Manager Raj Krishnan in a November 9 post on Google's Official Blog.

Google Instant Previews has already started to roll out to some users around the globe and is expected to become available in more than 40 languages over the next few days.
