Google Auto-suggest produces nearly the same set of search possibilities without changing the search results page on the fly like Google Instant does.

However, as you can see YouTube’s suggested search results are still far from being real time. In fact YouTube’s search results aren’t yet with the times.

YouTube isn’t alone though…

Yahoo search suggest results aren’t much better than YouTube’s.

Twitter doesn’t have any type of auto search suggest as far as I can tell however it does provide a rolling list of the ten most searched terms.

To find potential information locations the fastest, use Google Instant search or Bing otherwise your search for answers may take longer than necessary.
