A: Google Instant is starting to roll-out to users on Google domains in the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Russia who use the following browsers: Chrome v5/6, Firefox v3, Safari v5 for Mac and Internet Explorer v8. Please note, users on domains other than Google.com can only access Google Instant if they are signed in to a Google Account. We will continue to add new domains and languages over the next several months.

About Google Instant (SERIOUSLY) http://www.google.com/instant/I turned that *censored* thing off RIGHT away.
Google changed to "instant" search mode without even asking me...Personally, I like it.I have mixed feelings on it so far. I usually USE right-click > search or type in my browser search bar so I have only actually seen it in action a few times.

At least it is instant. If it were to lag then that would be a huge problem.I have couple of issues with it...

1. "on the fly" changes bother my eyes.
2. It displays only 10 results, while my regular Google search is set to display 50 results. QUOTE from: Broni on September 12, 2010, 02:17:51 PM

Mine was 100, so I feel that too. Google Suggest is enough for me.
