Yesterday Google announced a new search feature called “Google Instant Search”. It is working on most upgraded browsers for people in the United States, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and part of Russia. However, Google Instant is not working on all browsers, and there are countries still waiting for the new feature to be implemented in their region.

The web browsers that the new Google search will work on currently are the following: Firefox version 3, Safari v5for Mac, Chrome versions 5 & 6, and Internet Explorer version 8. Most other browsers do not have the back end to run Google Instant.

If you are in a different country than the ones listed above, yet still wish to us the new Google Instant search, don’t worry. There is a work around. Simply click on “Go to Google.com” underneath the search box when logged into your Google account. This should allow you to use the new feature (of course if you are using one of the compatible browsers). If you don’t have any of the compatible browsers, you can download them for free at chrome.google.com or getfirefox.com.
