I’ve noticed the blue arrow which is showing next to the listings in Google’s search results. It’s one of the keyboard navigation system that Google rolled out for Google Instant Search this week.
Today morning I saw them for the first time. It maybe there since Google’s update earlier this week, and I didn’t notice. I maybe part of a broader rollout. But look below for closer look.
Notice that there a blue arrow next to the Google search result:
It can be moved by using your keyboard navigation keys. Below you can see how I’ve moved down to the fifth result in the same search.
Arrow is also appearing at Google sponsored links. If they are at top of the organic search results:
Blue arrow is not appearing next to the OneBox-style listings:
It senses rather unknown to me.Google Instant Search is already focusing so much care on whatsoever is at the top of the page. This blue arrow is looks like overkill that. But pushing the keyboard navigation keys, having some type of indicator to help you know where you are in the search results page is making sense. And just press enter key if you want to open the arrow indicated listing from the search results, you
don’t want to use your mouse to click on it.
If you find any other feature at Google Instant please feel free to comment here.
