    I noticed the great feature in google search. we can enable instant search just beside search box and it searches the results while you are writing the search term. amazin feature. but does that affect the seo efforts?

    Some say it will, some say it won't. I guess we'll have to let time tell. personally I rarely go to google.com and then search anyway, I justr use the search box in my browser - I suspect a lot of people are like this.

    I don't see it really effecting the SEO process. However when they did roll out instant they did update the algorithm and we saw some interesting results.

    Econsultancy says that "Some, in fact, are worried it will kill SEO and harm paid search advertising results. Faster recall of results won’t eliminate the art and science of SEO. But it could change the way words are prioritized in headlines."

    My thought is also the same that this wont affect SEO in any ways..

    It defiantly wont kill SEO if anything it will make it more important in that its far more important now to be in top 3 than before. People will quickly look at the top results and if they don't like they search again.

    I'm not a fan of it. I keep it turned off. It's annoying to me to have stuff flashing in the background while I'm trying to type. Google Instant may be saving some people a lot of time, but it's wasting mine. I type at 100 words per minute and I go to Google knowing what I'm looking for. I don't a new guess for every letter I type.

    To be honest I hate it as a searcher. I use it very frequently and I grew tired of it the very first day.

    Google Instant is just to fasten up the search query. According to Google, it saves 5 sec per search query, which saves a lot of time. Most of people are unsure about their searches. So, Google Instant, will start showing quick results even before you end up typing your query, giving you better picture of what your query taking you upto.

    Also, Google Instant depend on your internet speed. So, if u hv low speed. turn it off.

    The google instant is right now live on Google.com, Google.co.uk and Google.co.au.. it is still in testing phase.
    Thank You

    Regards

    First of all it is very clear that Google Instant does not impact the ranking of search results. But, it may impact traffic coming from long tail keywords.
    Google Instant many hurt SEO marketers. Critics say that searchers will be less likely to click through to a second page of search results, which will give marketers fewer keywords to work with.
