I think Instant Search was pretty innovative, but one could probably say that it came about due to Twitter and real-time.


I hope this is a joke. Instant Search is a UX nightmare with the screen changing / morphing with every keystroke. Now if you meant Google Suggest, I'd have no argument, but on any new browser install, one of the first items is to switch Instant Search off.


I love instant search UX, whenever I use a browser that is not supported it just seems like I'm getting a super slow experience. Maybe you should give it a longer try.


I have given it a long try and I hate it. It's so annoying.


Agreed. Meant the concept, not necessarily the execution. Definitely see the potential, given they continue to improve it.


The most frustrating thing about instant search, to me, is that even in Firefox 4 and Opera (Haven't tried it on Chrome) the instant part freezes up sometimes if I type really quickly or backspace too fast.
