Google Instant has gotten to a level of speed that makes it extremely usable. Now that I like it, I'd like to turn off autocomplete, which seems to get in the way of the Instant results, more than enhance the search experience.
Does anyone know a way to do this? I've found a few userscripts (see below), but they don't seem to get the job done.
There is no way to have this combination currently
There are two url variables that you can use:
The issue is that you can turn off instant by adding ?instant=0 to the url you go to google with (set it as homepage to save typing). This doesn't disable autocomplete.
HOWEVER, if you set ?complete=0 it not only disables autocomplete, but it also disables instant.
I tried the following combination; https://www.google.com/?complete=0&instant=1 and instant was still turned off for me.
Side Note: I didn't realize I wanted this to work until I tried to make it work.
In the Search Settings page http://www.google.com/preferences you can turn off Google Instant and use the old style.
For that you have to logged in google account.
