Google Instant / I’m Feeling Lucky

This high profile feature, introduced in September 2010, is claimed by Google to speed up searches by two to five seconds. Google Instant loads suggested search results as you type, meaning that you may only have to type part of your search phrase to obtain the results you want. Google Instant does not automatically load results for offensive or derogatory words or phrases, rather a press of the Enter key is required for this.

Google Instant can be turned on using Search Settings, accessible from the top-right hand corner of the Google home page. Note that if you are using an older or unsupported browser, Google Instant may not be available for you. If you would like to try it out, upgrade to a newer supported browser such as Google Chrome.
