Google Instant Search of Little Benefit to Sourcers, Recruiters

Being a really slow typer I love to be helped. However, I don’t think that recently introduced instant search is likely to become a favorite tool. Here’s just a few reasons:

I use Google operators, and if you do, too, you may notice that it’s slower with instant search than without. Just try typing intitle:resume OR inurl:resume with and without instant search (luckily, we can turn it on and off).
With instant search on, I can only see 10 results on one page; I like to see 100.
Words guessed by Google may be of more interest to Google (since it would show more ads to click on) than to me.

What do you think?
