Instructions for disabling Google Suggest

Post by FlyingPenguin »

I hate this new Google feature. I find it annoying and useless - it never suggests anything useful and I know damn well how to form a search query, thank you.

Instructions on how to disable it here:

Oh, you Firefox users might want to know that this feature is also built into Firefox 2.0's built-in google search box. It can, however, be disabled by right-clicking on the Google search box and unchecking "Show Suggestions" (this is not available in Beta 1 but it is in Beta 2).
