Update: Google Instant Preview is no longer around.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several months ago \u201cGoogle Instant<\/a>\u201d launched, which allows Google users to preview search results, before even clicking \u201csearch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, you can see the search results<\/a> changing as you are typing in your search keywords.<\/p>\n

This week, Google launched another new feature, \u201cInstant Preview,\u201d which allows you to see individual websites before you actually visit them. When you click or hover over the magnifying glass that appears next to each search result, a screenshot of the web page will appear on the right side of the search results page. This allows you to see the website\u2019s content<\/a> before you decide to actually visit the page.<\/p>\n

Instant Previews allow you to compare search results, so you can choose which one is right for you. They also help you pinpoint the most relevant content, as the search terms you enter will be highlighted on the web page in the preview.<\/p>\n

According to the Google blog<\/a>,<\/p>\n

\u201cpeople who use Instant Previews are about 5% more likely to be satisfied with the results they click. The previews provide new ways to evaluate search results, making you more likely to find what you\u2019re looking for on the pages you visit.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Instant Preview is the next step in search engine evolution \u2013 making searches faster, easier, and more relevant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
