Google on Wednesday announced what it says are even faster Web search capabilities in its new “Google Instant” service. Billed as “search before you type,” the new feature uses predictive analysis to search the Web for the most likely matches as the user is typing in a query and streams results in real time according to its predictions. This is yet another move in the ongoing war over online search between the dominant players — Google on the one hand and the Microsoft/Yahoo team on the other. Whether or not users will see any tangible benefits from this speeded-up search remains to be seen.
