Google adds more zip to its search !!

Search engine giant Google unveiled a new feature which will predict the page a user will choose from among a list of search results and begin fetching the data for the page even before the user has clicked the link to the page. The feature called "Instant Pages" is an advancement on "Google Instant" and is capable of reducing the overall search query time by 2 to 5 seconds. The feature was introduced by Google fellow and  search scientist Amit Singhal at Google's Inside Search event in  Mountain View, California.

Google announced that the Instant Pages feature will initially be made available as an add-on to Google's Chrome Web browser and it planned to introduce it to mobile devices in the coming weeks. 

Google will also introduce a new image search feature which will allow users to upload, drag and drop, paste a URL or use a browser extension to provide a reference to an image. Google will then use its database to compare and identify the image for publishing the subject, location and details, in other words, it would enable Google find where you can locate the image on the web.

Singhal also announced that Google's voice search which until now allowed mobile phone search users to make their search query through speech, would be included in desktop searches.
