However, Google have decide to stop the feature since more than half of Google search happens on phone, and instant search don't appear on mobile screen.
This is what Google have to say concerning their decision.
"We launched Google Instant back in 2010 with the goal to provide users with the information they need as quickly as possible, even as they typed their searches on desktop devices. Since then, many more of our searches happen on mobile, with very different input and interaction and screen constraints. With this in mind, we have decided to remove Google Instant, so we can focus on ways to make Search even faster and more fluid on all devices".
There have always been an option for users to turn of instant search, now it will be eliminated to make good search experience across desktop and mobile.
When you type in a search query, you will only see search suggestions that shows in a standard drop-down menu.
No pages will load on the background, you will have to click enter to for the results to be shown.
The instant search feature have been very useful, it makes you get results faster though it also pop up unrelated search results.
