Google Testing Infinite Scroll For Search Results, Similar To Image Results?
Google has been making a lot of significant changes to the search experience of late, with most recent introductions being Google Instant, which guesses your queries before you can fully type them and also displays results as you type, and Google Instant previews which was launched earlier today and allows you to view previews of the search results.
Now, Search Engine Land is reporting that Google is also testing a new infinite scrolling results, which will continuously load results as you scroll down to the bottom of the page. This feature already exists in the new Google image search.
As you can see in the embedded video above, when you scroll to the bottom of the page, a small black bar moves you to the second page. Though there is no real indication as to when this feature will be available, you can currently have the same behavior on Google Chrome using a Chrome Extension called Auto Pager which is also available as a Firefox add-on and can be downloaded from here.
Looking at the video makes me a bit skeptical considering the image used to display page numbers. I am pretty sure that I have seen it somewhere in use and it might actually be an extension too. Nevertheless, auto scrolling of results will definitely save a lot of time for users. We’ll keep you updated when we hear more.
Update: As I had suspected, this is not a Google feature and instead uses a Chrome extension called Faster Fox which can be downloaded from here.

Wow Interesting, google has new ideas each day!
Advertising revenue for the big searches might suffer if they went to scrolling verses paging search results. Scrolling as much as a person likes, up and down and then back up,is now available on Norele.com. If the data base has the information, scrolling results is easier and faster than paging.
