FYI, I implemented a Google mod (using Greasemonkey) to have endless scrolling on the results page.

If you try hard it can work in IE also.

I use a slightly different approach on my site. Instead of adding blank space at the bottom of the page I initiate requests based on the height and position of the scrollbar so that they appear more transparently.

R.I.P. “Next page” buttons :)

Yeah, I’ve noticed that on Terrill’s site. I spent the better part of an afternoon trying to read until the bottom of his main page, before I clued in :).

Interestingly, Terrill has had this feature on his own blog for quite some time now: http://www.terrill.ca/

[...] I was browsing through a fellow UW undergrad’s blog when I stumbled upon his “Endless Google Search”. [...]

Wow, this is a really creative idea!

I like it a lot, enough to use it when I’m doing research! **Bookmarked**

Cool, Microsoft added this feature to their newly improved Live Image Search. I'm sure they came up with it independently of me though. I just hope they don't try to patent it :).

Google critic, I know what you mean, it does feel a bit uncomfortable to have no end. It is convenient though.

I think that even if Google or another search engine were to do this, they would still find that the majority of clicks come from the first page. But I think you are right, it would change the dynamics of SEO a bit.

Very nice little application you’ve created here. The question is whether visually it won’t bug people that they’ve got an endless page… like as a psychological thing. Also makes the value of seo look questionable to a certain extent, since there’s no effort involved going to “page 2″ or “3″…

keep up the good stuff!
