If you’re impressed with Google’s new Instant Search feature, Lifehacker has put together a quick video that will make your searching even faster using a few new shortcuts for Google’s Instant Search. Check out the video after the break.
Existing Shortcuts for Google Instant Search
Currently, there are three shortcuts already included with the Instant Search:
1) Tab to Autocomplete
2) Up and Down keys for suggestion navigation
3) Right arrow key for I’m Feeling Lucky
These shortcuts are designed to make your search experience faster and more efficient. By using the Tab key, you can quickly autocomplete your search query without having to type out the entire phrase. The Up and Down arrow keys allow you to navigate through the search suggestions effortlessly, helping you find the most relevant results quickly. The Right arrow key takes you directly to the “I’m Feeling Lucky” result, which is the top search result Google believes is most relevant to your query.
But hopefully, more shortcuts will be added as the new feature matures. The potential for additional shortcuts could further streamline the search process, making it even more user-friendly and efficient.
Additional Tips and Tricks
While there aren’t any one-key shortcuts specifically for Instant Search, you can view a list of the already established one-key shortcuts if you don’t already know them or need a refresh. These shortcuts can significantly enhance your overall Google search experience.
For example, pressing the “/” key will place your cursor in the search box, allowing you to start typing your query immediately. The “Ctrl + Enter” shortcut can be used to open the selected search result in a new tab, which is particularly useful when you want to keep your search results open while exploring different links.
Here are some additional Google One Key Shortcuts that you might find useful:
– “Ctrl + K” or “Ctrl + E” to focus on the search bar
– “Ctrl + L” to highlight the URL in the address bar
– “Ctrl + T” to open a new tab
– “Ctrl + W” to close the current tab
– “Ctrl + Shift + T” to reopen the last closed tab
These shortcuts can save you time and make your browsing experience more efficient. By incorporating these tips and tricks into your daily routine, you can navigate the web with greater ease and speed.
