As an expression of their gratitude, Google has decided to stray from its most prized strength... simplicity. Instead they now inundate us with 3 features that drive us insane: Suggest, Preview and Instant. The only users who benefit from these forced features are the lazy, the unimaginative, the indecisive, poor spellers and the chronically bored. We don't need to be told what we're looking for. If I want to see a page, I will click to visit it. Moreover, many of us are on expensive and limited data plans through our net providers so not only do we not care to waste bandwidth, we also are working at slower speeds which makes these bullshit features glitch too. Unlike the few people who enjoy your idiotic features, I have sh*t to do and these annoyances prevent me from getting it done. Enough is enough. Google has apparently forgotten about us... I'll be using alternatives so I can forget about them and their stress-inducing services.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-25980537357139724942012-03-14T22:54:57.093-07:002012-03-14T22:54:57.093-07:00After taking 6 months to learn how, wiping out goo...After taking 6 months to learn how, wiping out google from working at all and disabling this horrid feature on yahoo, ask and bing, having to fully reboot my computer after a MTBF event. All I or anyone else wants is a simple browser auto updated add-on that rips this annoying and useless feature from every search engine by default. Without the need to re-write script, change about:config files and using cookies that disappear on log off.<br /><br />I personally don't feel like doing the work all over again to modify on by default to off by script. So...Anyone up to doing the world a favor, earn the accolades of the masses and becoming the Hero of all by creating a multi browser add-on to kill auto suggest?

This turns off Search Suggest and lots of other annoyances, reduces load times and generally returns Google to a fast and simple search engine that does only what you tell it to do.<br /><br />You need to do this for www.google.com and for your local country-specific variant (mine is www.google.co.uk). By specifying the "www." you only disable script for searches, not for Google Maps or Gmail.<br /><br />Instructions: F12 - 'Edit Site Preferences...' - overtype the 'Site' field with www.google. - 'Scripting' tab - uncheck 'Enable JavaScript' - OKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-46496505547548256992011-12-10T17:56:47.440-08:002011-12-10T17:56:47.440-08:00Fortunately in older versions of Safari prior to 5...Fortunately in older versions of Safari prior to 5.0 the autosuggest service can be disabled via the Preferences menu.
