Google may be set to modify its search engine to display and update results while the user is still typing.

The internet giant has yet to make any official announcement on the issue, but a video captured by a UK-based search engine optimisation professional appears to confirm that it is currently being tested.

If fully implemented, it will feature a results page which is updated in real time based on what Google thinks is being searched for as words are typed into the search box.

Rob Ousbey, the SEO professional who submitted the video, claimed that the new application provides instantaneous results.

"You don't even need to hit the 'Search' button anymore. Google updates the results for you while you're typing," he said.

However, Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently told The Wall Street Journal that he did think users would want a search engine which would anticipate their requests to such a degree.

"I actually think most people don't want Google to answer their questions," he remarked.

"They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next."
