Google Instant for web has been announced last September 8, 2010 by Google, and now we are happy to report that Google Instant for Mobile can also be seen in beta for iPhone and Android Phones in US. Google Instant makes search faster by having an anticipated keywords as well as search results as you type in Google query box.

Here is an instruction provided by Google on their official blog with Video:

To try it out, go to google.com in your phone’s browser and tap the Google Instant “Turn on” link beneath the search box (if you don’t see the “Turn on” link, try waiting a moment and then refresh the page).

To try it out, go to google.com in your phone’s browser and tap the Google Instant “Turn on” link beneath the search box (if you don’t see the “Turn on” link, try waiting a moment and then refresh the page).

Like the desktop version of Google Instant, when you type on your mobile device you will see predictions of what you might be searching for. If You type [anse], for example, you should see [ansel adams] along with other predictions. Results for the first prediction appear automatically, and tapping on the other predictions will display those results. Pressing the enter key or the search button skips the predictions and will display results for exactly what you’ve typed.

The new technology and improvement is due to AJAX and HTML5 implementation for mobile that dynamically updates the page with new results and eliminates the need to load a new page for each query according to Google.

Google Instant for mobile will work both in 3G and WiFi networks, Google instant could be disabled by user by turning it off through your phone browser. Google have also inform that they are working to support additional countries and languages.
