If most of you are like me, you rely heavily on Google searches for resources and ready information. Google has just announced a great tool to help with those searches: Google Instant Previews. 

The original Google Instant allowed you to see search results as you type. The new Google Instant Previews goes one step further by letting you actually view snapshots of sites without ever leaving the results page. 

Here’s an example using the search “MacDonald Consulting Services” – there are lots of MacDonald Consulting organizations but which one is the one you really need to hone-in on.  

HOW IT WORKS

Each "instant" preview shows you a current view of the page, complete with text, graphics, and anything else that might be present. If you click on the thumbnail, Google takes you to the site. If you move your mouse anywhere else within the search results, Google starts loading previews for other pages in the list.
