Anyone notice Google Instant today?
Mine went to it this morning, and I gotta tell ya, I think it.......


STINKS!!!

I really dont like the way it works. It seems to be kinda sluggish. Give me back my regular old, press enter to search Google any day.
So what if I have to press an extra button to search. That is the way it was intended to be.

Anyway, what do you all think?

I have no problem with it. I can only imagine how it has to effect the load on google servers. Think about it. It is searching each new letter you add, but just the one time you hit enter

I like it!

You can turn it off if need be.

Atleast they give you a choice.

I just realized this. I always tend to open a new tab and use the Google search box in the corner of whatever browser I happen to be on. Strange they want to change the simplistic look of Google for more widgets and stuff on the main page.

Couldn't this lead to some family "incidents"? I mean, what if you accidentally type "porn" instead of, say "pork".

EDIT: Nevermind. I see that if you type a word that could lead to certain unsavory results it still makes you press enter. OKAY THEN.

You would wonder about this, wouldn't you? :laugh:

I still dont like it. It makes it look cluttered and ugly. Whats next? News, weather, sports?

I hope they dont take it that far. I have to move to ask.com as my primary search if they do.

You can already customize your "home" page through google and add everything from stock quotes to horroriscope stuff. You just have to sign-in and then drag the icons to their place you want them.

All i can remember is they were talking about it on Bob & Tom a few day ago when it went live and Bob was trying to type in something and all that came up was Titanic or Titans and he was really looking to search for T*ts, it was pretty funny. They kept saying, "no, it doesn't know what i'm trying to find" :woohoo:
