The new Google search changes have created plenty of noise worldwide – as it was to be expected.
While it remains to be seen how much of this technology will be adopted by the daily searchers (the feature can be turned off, by the way) the technology itself is hardly new.
In terms of an early adopter of a live search, the feature was used with the DomainTools subtool, PsychicWHOIS.
It’s a great tool that utilizes ajax technology to display results as they are being typed. One can quickly tap parts of a domain name and view a drop down list of existing names that match that partial search and then you can view the WHOIS information. Really fast and efficient.
Regardless of technology, Google seems to have created a storm in a bottle; Elliot Silver has already pointed out the pitfalls of searching with the new live tool.
