Of course, I am talking about when Instant Search is disabled.

Quite a while ago, Google certainly did differentiate between "Enter" vs. Click. And, according to Google, "Click"ing was recommended.

Now, what?

What do you mean 'differentiate'? You can use both Enter and Mouse, are you expecting to get different results when using one or the other? – JonW♦ Dec 24 '12 at 17:37
nope, i didn't meant that. I meant the internal operations from press/click to the end HTML – kmonsoor Dec 24 '12 at 19:21

The internal operations (or any HTML / code / implementation) is off-topic for User Experience. UX is technology agnostic, so for implementation questions you're better off at Stack Overflow, programmers, webmasters or super user (among others) depending on the question. However it's still confused what you mean by differentiation. Even if you do only mean the HTML there would still be a different result on the front-end if you're doing the same thing in two different ways. Otherwise why do it differently at all if you don't want different results? – JonW♦ Dec 24 '12 at 21:12

No there is no way that the developers at google would include this what possible functionality does that serve? If anything it would reduce functionality by making certain searches more difficult to find when using one method vs the other. Google uses a specific algorithm determine their results why would they create separate ones for two two events which trigger the same thing, your results.

nope, i didn't want that. I am not interested in the end "search" result. So, nothing to do with PageRank. possibly, i am not clear enough. I am curious about internal operations from press/click to the end HTML. Thanks, anyway. – kmonsoor Dec 24 '12 at 19:24
