Google Instant Preview--SEE Your Search Results

Today’s Topic: Google Instant Preview—SEE Your Search Results

Who? Anyone who uses Google as a search engine.

Why? Google just made searching even better. It used to be you had to click on each of your search results (thus leaving the search results page) just to see if a result met your needs. Often a quick glance it all it takes, but when the site doesn’t meet your needs, you have to go back to the search results page to click through the remaining search results. Not anymore—you can do your initial previewing of sites without leaving the results page. What will you do with all the time you save?
