Google instant results
I've heard of Google instant results for some time now but cannot determine how to turn the feature on. Is this because the feature is being rolled out over time or am I missing something? I use Google.ca as my default search engine.
Regards,
Paul

Are you saying that you do not see suggested sites as you type in words?

From Google Instant
"Google Instant is starting to roll-out to users on Google domains in the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Russia who use the following browsers: Chrome v5/6, Firefox v3, Safari v5 for Mac and Internet Explorer v8. Please note, users on domains other than Google.com can only access Google Instant if they are signed in to a Google Account. We will continue to add new domains and languages over the next several months. "
It doesn't work if you are on you iGoogle page, only on the Google classic page. I don't use it because it set the number of results to 10 per page.

Re: Google instant results
I forgot to mention..
If it is available, you can turn it on by going to Settings > Search Setting... > (Scroll to the bottom to set)
Just noticed... There is a link next to the text box on the Google page letting me know that Instant Search is off. It appeared after I did a search, but was not on the initial search page.

Thanks. From what I can see, the service is not yet available in my location.
