Google never stops working on improving its search engine. After launching Google Instant a couple of months ago, they’ve now taken a leap to image-based search results with the Google Instant Previews – a snapshot of each website listed in the results of your query.

Google Instant Previews

Instant Previews has been implemented in a way that it doesn’t disturb the standard Google search procedure. Just use Google as you normally would, and if you want to see previews for your search results, click the magnifying glass icon next to any of them. Google will display a graphic preview for the selected result, highlighting relevant content – such as your search keywords – if they appear on the website.

From that moment on, hovering your mouse over any other result will also display a snapshot of the website, so that you can scroll down the page and browse search results as if you were flipping through a magazine. Instant Previews are also keyboard navigable: just press the right key to activate them and the down key to check previews for all your results.
