How to turn off Google Instant

September 12th, 2010 No comments


Google Instant is the new homepage makeover to Google Search Engine. This search enhancements allows you to see results as you type your query. Based on ajax technology, the query is sent to Google’s servers for each letter you type. By pushing the limits of their technology and infrastructure, Google is aiming to help the user get better and faster search results because of the fact that people type slowly but read quickly, I think it’s an overkill.

What I think Google is not taking into consideration here is that the majority of “slow typing” people are not even looking at their screen while typing to even notice that the search results are updating but are searching for the keystroke on their keyboard and will not be looking at the screen till they hit the enter.

So, how do you disable Google Instant feature?

1. Go to Google Preferences
2. Select Do not use Google Instant
