Google Instant search (works on MicroB on N900)
 

Google have just released Instant Search (details) for the US and a few countries if you're signed in. Very cool stuff.

What's also cool is that it works (slowly) on MicroB. Go to http://www.google.com/webhp?sclient=psy (probably whilst being signed in). Probably not very useful at the speed it goes, but it's nice to know Maemo is ahead of the rest - Google say it's coming to mobiles this fall.

Update: it seems like it actually works pretty well. When you press the down key the updates come (almost) immediately.

it's definitely faster on a real computer, but it's pretty good on the n900 too

I noticed the same. Neither iOS nor Android worked.

Very fast on my OCed N900 - I would say maybe 1/2 second lag between typing and suggestions.

For some reason it doesn't work for me. I am logged in and on a fast connection.

Edit: It works in Firefox, but not MicroB or Opera.

It seems to matter if you are logged into your "countrys" google or "google.com". The thing is that if I by default go to "google.com" it reirects to "google.se", but if you look at the bottom there is (perhaps temporarily, for this reason, I dunno, I never noticed it before) a "go to google.com in English" button, and if you click that, you get to it also on MicroB.

I was confused on my desktop machine coz I got google instant to work on firefox but not on chrome, but it turned out to be for the same reason (one was showing google.com the other google.se even though I had typed google.com in both)

Hmm, I am definitely on "google.com" (I'm in the US anyway), and logged in, yet I still can't get it to work. I wonder if there is a specific URL you can go to force it to turn on?

Re: Google Instant search (works on MicroB on N900)
 

The special URL is http://www.google.com/webhp?sclient=psy - I guess the "psy" is chort for psychic. Works for me, logged in, in the UK.

That works in microB for OS2008/Diablo as well.
I wouldn't call it lightning fast..but, it works.
