really ingenious feature by google, wait till you hear it

    Okay, so I never really paid much attention to it, but now after a while I notice that it is a pattern and it wasn't just several coincidences. Have you ever typed in something on google and have it take a while to load, or it is just kind of delayed? Anyways, when it takes a while to load I usually just go to yahoo and then search it there (kind of impatient I know). Anyways, well I've noticed, that when the results are loading and it is taking a while, if I click in the address bar and start to type a url it immediately loads the results?

    Anybody know why/how this is and anyone know how to do something like this with a website that doesn't have all the cpu power of google?

    What is it exactly, do they have so many visitors that their servers get overloaded by a smidge, and they load by who searched first, but if someone clicks in the address bar they bump them up to first priority for loading results?

    Really weird stuff, incredibly smart by google too, anyone else notice this?

    If you do like 5 searches back to back and close to each other on the 4th or 5th it will take a while to load.

    Google doesn't know when you've clicked in your address bar... that's your computer.

    Really? Then why does it only do it with google? Never had that experience with any other site and have it everytime (100s now) where a page is loading slow with google? Couldn't it be a cookie?

    My google search results come up fast, it could be a connection issue for you.

    It only happens when I do back to back searches 5 times in a row. I don't know how this could only be my pc though, when it only does this with google. I guess it's a mystery.

    The force is strong with you, maybe it is just chance. You could have the ability to predict when the page is going to load.
