It is pretty neat, but I really question if it'll save as much time as they say it will. Also, it can be sorta distracting while you're typing.

I absolutely hate it!  I've always found Google's search suggestions to be annoying.  Now I can't even turn them off.  My choices are now annoying search suggestions or the newfangled REALLY annoying ones.  I've changed my homepage to Blackle (http://www.blackle.com/) until they let me turn off the suggestions.

Does anyone even go to google anymore? Just type what you want to search into your address bar n00b.

I thoroughly dislike the perdition thing....  It was bearable when it was just giving suggests underneath...now it's actually trying to load it before I'm done typing?!  WHY!??!   :'(  The first time I saw it, I was like "AH!  Woah!  What'ssss go'in on her'?!  I'm noot doon!  Stoop it!  STOOP IT, I SAY!"  (And yes, I do talk to myself like that when no one else is around....  ;D)

that is a great idea. now just spend 200 or so hrs working.

Title: Re: google search
Post by: Daniel TS RED on September 13, 2010, 11:08:17 AM
The thing about the REG is you type in exactly what you're looking for and you still have to search through the left side panel and find it again.  If a custom search would fix that, i'm all for it.

Google also tries to sell stuff, but they don't alter their search results, and the text ads are removable.
