    New "feature". Its a total clusterfuck. I hope they don't standardize it.

    They change the entire search results page based on what you are typing every instant. Really bad, IMO. have to be on certain browsers and logged into google account to see it right now.

    can it be disabled? I don't like it at all.

    actually, I'm serious. Does anyone know a way to disable it? It is quite annoying.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: Can I turn off Google Instant?
    A: If you don't want to see results as you type, you can turn off Google Instant by clicking the link next to the search box on any search results page, or by visiting your Preferences page.

    I haven't really even noticed it. I use chrome and just search from the main address bar at the top of the browser.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Same, though I'm using Firefox, not Chrome. I almost never type in the search from a Google page.

    Agreed. After I claim the last of my cashback from them, I can't imagine ever using it again.
