TechCrunch writes Google is toying with search result pages that automatically update when you adjust your search query. It's unknown whether this feature will become part of Google Search, the company points out that between 50-200 search experiments are tested at any given time to test new ideas on how to improve the service.

SEO consultant Rob Ousbey has noticed an interesting thing happening to his search results, live updates of results as he types in every letter.

Google has confirmed to TechCrunch that the above video is in fact real. Is this capability imminent? Sources familiar with Google product developments could not say whether imminent productization in the cards.
