Google Discontinues Instant Search

In a statement Google announce that they are removing the Instant feature effective today. Google Instant was launched in 2010, a feature that provided you with instant search results as you typed in your query. While this was a feature added to make searches faster when using a desktop, now more searches being conducted on mobile. Google is killing off Instant to make Search "more fluid on all devices." I had to look up what it was too don't worry. I never really paid attention to the instant results, and when I did notice it, I found it annoying, like someone interrupting you because they thought they knew what you were going to say. I know some will miss the "feature" however I won't be one of them. We launched Google Instant back in 2010 with the goal to provide users with the information they need as quickly as possible, even as they typed their searches on desktop devices. Since then, many more of our searches happen on mobile, with very different input and interaction and screen constraints. With this in mind, we have decided to remove Google Instant, so we can focus on ways to make Search even faster and more fluid on all devices.
