Google Instant Not Working

Google Instant Not Working: Google Instant Not Working:When Google CEO Eric Schmidt delivered the keynote address at IFA in Berlin yesterday, he spoke of "a new definition of Google". I watched the broadcast, I was struck by the phrase as part of the company in an extensive and successful as Google must redefine itself? And listened to it a new definition of participation.

"We tried very hard to make you something quickly," said Schmidt. "Do not underestimate the power quickly. Hurry, hurry, hurry, we want to help you right now." Later in his speech, he also spoke of the understanding that Google users want, even before he even asked for it, almost psycho-like manner: "We can understand things like what you really meant. "

Okay, I got the idea, and it is anticipated that we will see the emphasis on speed and the prediction expressed in Google's in the coming months and years. But I do not understand that Schmidt was teasing the viewer major announcement that the company will do in a day in San Francisco.This statement was the opening moment, Google, a new interface for the dominant search engine in the world. It rolled in the U.S. right now, you can also get it at www.google.com / instant and goal is to provide relevantsearch results before you've even finished typing a query. Instant, in other words, to give you what you really mean, hurry, hurry, hurry. (The function will come in other countries, the browsersearch field, as well as mobile phones in the coming months.)

Instant, of course, the biggest change Google has never done for its traditional interface. First, it makes the famous rare page of the engine and the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button for more familiar facade than anything. (At this point, something like, a page with information convexity and "I'm Feeling Lucky" disappears.) From a technical point of view, it is certainly surprising. Google and othersearch engines guess that you enter in the search field and displays suggestions in a while now, but instant results displayed for those guesses … Well, instantly. You do not need to finish the input, you do not need to press Enter. You just have to keep typing until thesearch engine can not say that you actually had in mind. At that point, press event this morning, Google execs pitched a new interface, as a profound shift in the world will look for information. And then they went to considerable lengths to explain how thoroughly they checked it before having him around the world. They did not just try it and like it themselves, they are a large number of normal people to him, and use focus groups and eye tracking equipment for the feedback. The company even showed us a video of some people just praise the changes.

In some cases, one key is all you need. In the demo today, Google surprised the crowd by showing how easy it is to get local weather in Google Instant: Type "W", and you're done.

Impressive! But not all search queries that begin with "W" includes the weather. You may want information about Wal-Mart. Or thorn pike. Or, Watertown, Massachusetts. Or, Wedgwood dishes, or, perhaps, Wilt Chamberlain.

Now, typing five characters to get the results of Wilt Chamberlain was not too shabby. This, of course, more effective than print their full name and pressing Enter. Except for one thing: If I did asearch on old-fashioned way, Google will return only Wilt links. With Google instant, he showed me the link about the weather in San Francisco, Wikipedia, radio, cake, air conditioning, and the city in the state of Connecticut in the first place.

Yes, and I rarely go to Google.com or another, I do almost all my searches in the browser address bar or search box. I doubt that any time saved can cost the efforts of retraining my fingers go to Google.com, while the new interface works everywhere that Google is doing.

So far I have not found an instant will be a big step forward, that Google, seem to believe it. But neither does it feel like "Re-Syle fiasco. First, the changes will not be forced into the throat of anyone: it is simply disable it and return to classicalsearch using Google. There is an easy way to split the difference between Google and Instant older Google: Instead of pay attention tosearch suggestions and the results, you can just enter all your search query. And then stop. you get the results you would have seen in previous times, with no press ENTER and wait for their appearance.

It is also important to remember that instant as a starting point, rather than a conclusion: Google honchos at the event repeatedly stated that thesearch engine receives hundreds of tricks in order to improve its quality. This means that Google points in September 2011 could be improved by the current one in the overt and subtle ways.
