| There are several reasons why you may not see dynamic results from Google Instant . Connection speed If you 're searching from a particularly slow Internet connection , you wo n't see results as you type because we do n't want to slow down your search experience . Similarly , if we have historical evidence that the network you 're on tends to be slow , we 'll show you the normal search experience to prevent any possible speed issues . If you 'd prefer to see results as you type anyway , or if you do n't think your connection speed is an issue , you can opt in to seeing dynamic results whenever you 'd like . Just click the Instant link next to the search box , or visit your Preferences page . In addition , if we later identify that your connection becomes stronger , you might start to once again see results as you type . Availability and other issues It 's possible that unexpected issues prevent you from seeing results as you type . For instance , requests from your connection might fail , you might have proxy issues , or your Internet connection could drop mid-search . Try pressing Enter or clicking the " Search " button to see results . If you 're redirected to an error page or other results page , try refreshing the page or going back to the Google homepage . Certain queries If you 're used to seeing results as you type , note that certain types of search queries that could be inappropriate will not trigger automatic results . In these situations , you 'll see a message asking you to click Enter to perform the search .
