Often (almost always) we cant turn these things off.<br /><br />At work, I continually need to enter my search settings. This is getting real tiring. I dont like my search history popping up when I enter the search bar. So far, I have had to disable the recording of history to stop this. What I really want, is to record history but not display it when I enter the search box.<br /><br />Apparently, this is too much for the people at google to understand.doug maenpaanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-45802295442434241092010-06-08T05:18:59.579-07:002010-06-08T05:18:59.579-07:00Hey there, its me again....

They actually WANT people to be annoyed and slowed down:<br /><br />"However, in the end, the variant of the homepage we are launching today was positive or neutral on all key metrics, except one: time to first action. At first, this worried us a bit: Google is all about getting you where you are going faster — how could we launch something that potentially slowed users down? Then, we realized: we want users to notice this change... and it does take time to notice something (though in this case, only milliseconds!). Our goal then became to understand whether or not over time the users began to use the homepage even more efficiently than the control group and, sure enough, that was the trend we observed."<br /><br />And yes, people WILL use their homepage more efficiently because of this schoolboy error by google - they will either use another search engine, disable adverts, put all kinds of crappy scripts on their page, use the firefox google homepage instead - this is certainly going to make them use a more efficient way indeed - anything that's more efficient than wiggling your mouse in annoyance trying to get the bloody news link up on this stupid homepage by google.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-25507547082236274822010-03-20T18:10:42.612-07:002010-03-20T18:10:42.612-07:00Since google had create this stupid fade effect, i...Since google had create this stupid fade effect, it has always coming down in my consideration.

The fade concept is idiotic. The notion that a typical user wants to wait while useful links "fade" in after some sort of prompt is absolutely ridiculous. Like others, I also thought I might be having an issue with my browser or computer, until it became apparent that everything else was loading normally. Give us the option of turning this stupid feature off, you REALLY dropped the ball on this one.

It serves no purpose other than to slow users down who regularly go to Google's main page and then click "News", "Gmail", etc. <br /><br />If Google really believes users like this change, let them put a survey button on the main page.

Even though the success of the company is BASED on a quick and simple interface.<br /><br />It's hilarious that they stand to loose so many users over such a silly decision. <br /><br />"Hey, I know what would really be a great idea.
