Google Page Questions

Also, everyone always tries to switch you to their webpage as your home page so here were two questions relating to Google this week. I will add more to this string as Google questions arrive.

Thank you. I will do so, and keep these directions for the future. How do I permanently take off google instant search? It is VERY annoying: as I’m trying to type, it keeps flinging things up to me that distract me from what I’m trying to type—then I go to the wrong place.

Answer:
click on "show search options" next to the search box and you can turn it off there.
