This Google suggest feature is terrible. Im old school,and I do not like the way my search tools develop a mind of their own, and start working differently than the way they did yesterday. I had to spend several hours getting to the bottom of what happened, and Google, I am not amused.

I am going to phase out Google as a standard search engine, on the 20 plus PCs I control, as soon as I find something better, and does not have to change all the time to suit some programmers whim. This is not what the market wants.

This feature is totally annoying and now it is enabled by default. If I wanted search help I would have used Google Suggest. HATE IT!

I’m not a novice. The AutoSuggest “feature” is extremely ANNOYING and the fact that it’s enabled by default is EXTREMELY ANNOYING. Where’s the google one-time, once-for-all checkbox that says “I’M NOT A NOVICE”. P.S. Google search is still only 20 results per page, no matter what settings you choose, after 8 years. That’s liberal google for you, poop stuff out, but don’t listen.

This is a very annoying addition, and should be turned OFF by default. It Sucks!

I really dislike this feature. I hope that more users express the same sentiments and it’s eventually disabled by default.

THIS IS SO DAMN ANNOYING.
I wish Google had not turned it on by default. I HATE IT.

[...] 4 Years Later, Google Suggest Finally Goes Primetime Over the next week, Google will finally be implementing Google Suggest, its auto-complete for searches, on its homepage at Google.com. The service allows users to see the most commonly searched phrases after entering only a few letters, helping users cut back on typing time and check for spelling errors. If you’d like to try the service out now (it isn’t currently activated for everyone) you can find it here. (tags: 4 Years Later, Google Suggest Finally Goes Primetime) [...]

I find this Suggest feature annoying 90% of the time. I know what I want to type. I don’t want the distraction of interacting with a dropdown box.

You can disable the Suggest feature by using this URL (so you don’t need to accept Google’s cookies to disable it):

http://www.goog...ebhp?complete=0

It’s also interesting to see the filtering that Google does. Type:

“microsoft sucks”
vs.
“google sucks”

and notice the 2nd one doesn’t get “suggested” even though “google sucks” has MORE hits that “microsoft sucks” ! Hmmmm….
