RE: Google Instant: An instant hit

scaryshari 9th Sep 2010

I don't like Google Instant either. Maybe it's because I have ADHD, or maybe it's just a simple matter of preference (i.e. why do some folks prefer apples & some oranges?) but I find Google Instant to be VERY distracting! When I'm typing in a word, key words, a name or a phrase, the LAST thing I want to see is text that keeps jumping around and changing as I type... and changing right below the line where I'm typing, no less! It's so distracting & annoying I can't even describe it. sad

I also strongly agree w/ the point made by nishsingh -- if I'm starting to type "Li" for "Linux", for example, why on earth would I want to see a bunch of popular search results starting w/ those same letters, such as LinkedIn or Limewire? Totally irrelevant! (Not to mention distracting). Maybe if Google Instant waited until you at least typed a FEW LETTERS before jumping in w/ its "instant" suggestions, that would be tolerable. But like this? No thank you! Sorry. sad
