In an attempt to make Google more real-time, the search engine giant on Wednesday introduced a new feature called Google Instant.

Google Instant makes searching the web faster by bringing up search results as you type in your query. As you type in your query into the Google search box, the search displays a list of suggested phrases you are likely to search for and brings up the search results for the top suggested phrase.

Pretty cool new feature, but kind of useless for me as I make use of the Chrome address bar to enter my search queries. Adding another step to get to my search results with Google Instant is a bit cumbersome, would be cool though if Google could build this into Chrome somehow.

To test out Google Instant for yourself head on over to Google.com and start typing in your search query.

Google recently signed a deal with micro blogging site Twitter to index Twitter feeds in real time. The end result is Google’s real time search.

Imagine you need to head into Cape Town but would like to know how the traffic is to plan your trip. Well all you would have to do with Google’s real time search is type in CapeTraffic and it would show you latest tweets from the CapeTraffic hash being used by Capetonian tweeters.

Not only does Google Real Time Search index Twitter in real time but freshly published web pages, Tweets, MySpace updates and shockingly, Facebook public profiles. Check out the demo video below.

Want to see real-time results for any query right now? Go to http://google.com/trends and click on any of the hot topics on that page. Replace the search query in that page’s URL with a new search term and if real time results are available, you’ll be able to see them.

Awesome don’t you think?
