> I don't understand why anyone complains about Google Instant. Google Instant is everything that is wrong with a poor Ajax implementation. No back/forward history, I've lost count of how many times it kicked me out of the search text box as I was editing a query, and when I try close the tab my browser warns me that I have edited text in an un-submitted form. It's a complete and utter mess, as far as I'm concerned. The best thing about it is that you can turn it off. The true power of Google Search is its ability to predict and correct your query text on the fly as you type, but that feature been around forever in my browser search box. Google Instant is just a very lame (and buggy) gimmick to compete with Bing's gimmicks. If rely on gimmicks to help you decide which software to use, so be it...
