Annoying google dropdown!

Please god tell me there is a way to disable the annoying google search suggestion box...

I seemed to be able to do it in an older version of IE but not this one...

I think it's called 'Google Instant' On Google main page, go to Settings at top right, then Preferences, then check '[FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Do not use Google Instant' [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]radio button, then click save at bottom right.

Hope this is what you meant!

I did that, but it still comes up...

Its still completing the searches in a drop down menu...

So it does! A bit more digging found this google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=54068&hl=en
You might want to see the 'autocomplete' section on that page? Sorry if you've tried this - I rather like the feature!

Seem to remember another thread like this one, the small search box keeps its history, rather than "making suggestions". When I have a mo I will see if I can find it and what the outcome was. I know firefox has a clear history as well as disable suggestions option.

Should read enable suggestions
