Ok, we've had Google Instant, the last major update to the Google Index, were you get results as soon as you type.

Not content with that, we now have Google Instant Previews!!

You will see a magnifying glass on the right of a listing, which when selected, will open up a preview window. In otherwords, you stay on the Google page instead of clicking your way round the web.... sneaky!

It will be live in the next few days, but you can get a preview here:

I have been using the FF add on Google Preview for some time. For me it's one of the essential add ons. It just makes the search or trawling through process faster.

Thanks for the info. It will certainly help in reducing the search time.

So I have been playing around with this (well..looking at it :S) for a while now, and I actually quite like it.

It's pretty useful if you have an idea of what website's you don't want to click through to, and it's a pretty clear view of what's there. (funnily enough)

to google from me on this one. What do you all think of it?

Pages that open in a preview have been around for a while in various guises, and often become quite annoying. But googles interpretation is quite slick, I like the fact you have to select the magnifying glass to see the previews, and selecting it again switches it off.

Theres nothing worse when you get to a site and as you move your mouse around loads of preview boxes pop up.

So thumbs up to Google from me

Page Preview is very useful to me, cause I am used to remember web sites from their design.

I have been using page preview plug-in for 2 years. So I used to just looking the preview and not reading the url. Habbits can hardly cut out!

Thanks google for the preview.
