I think this feature might have helped people who are slow at typing. May be off-topic, but I remember an incidence from Home Depot when I asked a staff member to look something up for me. She pulled up a browser (think it was IE), typed google in the nav bar (perhaps to get to google.com) and got the bing search result for search term 'google'. Then she continued on to use the bing search to look for Home Depot's site (I assume she was thinking she is searching on Google). I didn't get what I was looking for, but I did leave wondering about use-case or user interaction scenarios like this that I would have never thought of. Yeah, I think that Instant Search must have had its value for people, even if not much for me.
