I want to turn it OFF not on, how can I get rid of the auto complete key word suggestion. i hate it.
I dislike it too. There is a preference link next to the search box on Google where you can select: Do not provide query suggestions in the search box. (near the bottom of the page). That only seems to work for a while and then a cookie expires or Google resets it.
I found that using the following URL, which someone else posted, works as a permanent “off switch”:
http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0&hl=en
I pasted that in the URLs of my bookmarks in Mozilla and Firefox and favorites in Internet Exploder and I also entered it as a link on my personal home page. No more “autocomplete”. Perhaps if enough people do this, Google will get the hint from their web stats.
thanks, the off switch worked for me.
HOW DO I TURN OFF GOOGLE AUTO- COMPLETE – COMPLETELY
