A couple weeks ago we reported Google was testing updating search results as you type. Google confirmed this to be a test and we went on with our business.

Today, there are reports of Google’s home page showing search results as you type your query. You can be on Google.com, see the search box and begin entering your query. As you type, Google may flip you to a search results page without you completing your typing, without hitting enter or without hitting the “Google Search” button.
