Google and its merry band of features has slowly but surely been making its way onto iOS be it in the company's actual app or other integrated features. One that was announced today is the company's Google Instant search can now be accessed on iOS.

If you type [anse], for example, you should see [ansel adams] along with other predictions. Results for the first prediction appear automatically, and tapping on the other predictions will display those results. Pressing the enter key or the search button skips the predictions and will display results for exactly what you’ve typed. Check out our demo video:
