Google Instant Search. You Can Turn It Off If You Want.

The mystery is gone forever I guess. Remember way back, two days ago when you would have to type in your Google Search and press Enter or the Search button?

Not Anymore.

If you haven't noticed, Google Instant Search is here, for better or worse.

It's nice in some ways not to need to press the button, but is it necessary? And how well is it going to work on really old computers or Internet connections?

Thankfully, for folks that still have Dial Up or poor Satellite Internet connections, you can turn off Instant Search by clicking the little "Instant Search Is On" link next to the search button. This should definitely help your computer from completely freaking out.

Also, there were a couple of occasions yesterday when we ran some searches...and the White Screen of Death appeared in our Chrome browser. Let's hope that it's a temporary problem and not something that will continually plague our awful AT&T DSL connection, which regularly times out if you have three users concurrently doing something.

Pretty soon I should be able to write this blog by just thinking about it...

...But what happens when I'm writing about computers and it thinks I'm writing about communism? I guess like everything else at Google, it'll be in "Beta" form for years.

Here's to progress.
