  • Am I getting old and cantankerous or is Google getting annoying

    First it was instant search and now they have the annoying Google instant preview. At least you can turn instant search off, the instant preview seems to have no off option.

    I only get a preview if I click the little magnifying glass. By clicking one of them I can toggle the feature on and off. I like it.

        Yes, but clicking almost anywhere on the search page turns the instant previews on.

          If you click on a search result, they don't show up.

          If you click on a result, but not on a link, it shows the preview. What else should it do? Why are you clicking non-links in the results?

            Don't know but it happens a lot. I think I randomly click blank parts of webpages because of boredom.

                Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                  I like instant search (because I can type w and get the weather where i am), and the previews are neat but not terribly useful, but the fact that you can't use the arrow keys to scroll with instant search on is a mother****ing sack of ****.
