Here's Everything You Need To Know About Google Instant

Google's big search event is over. It went on for a solid 90 minutes, but in the end, only one thing was announced: Google Instant.

So what is Google Instant, and what took so long? Here's what you need to know:

• Users who go to Google's home page now see search results updating live as they type text into the search bar.

• That means you can get search results by pressing a single letter key.

• The live search results aren't based just on what you've typed so far, but rather on Google's best guess at what you will end up typing, as predicted by Google Suggest.
