Search Faceoff: Google Instant vs. Regular Google

Google Search has been instantized; will it fundamentally change the way we search, or do users prefer Google without the search predictions?

Google Instant rolled out last week to users across the U.S. (and in several other countries) with great fanfare. Google describes it as the next evolution of search; it not only delivers search results as you type, it actually predicts what you’re going to type and provides results based on those predictions. The result, according to Google, will be hundreds of thousands of hours saved by searchers across the world.

Not everyone’s a fan of Google Instant, though. We’ve heard of many people that hate Google Instant and have disabled the feature. Others have complained about its filtering of naughty words.

Last week we asked for your opinion of Google Instant. Now that some time has passed, we want to know exactly what you think of the product. This week’s Web Faceoff pits Google Instant against the “classic” version of Google. Our query is simple: which one do you prefer?
