Google Suggest is one incredibly annoying feature! I’m a pretty fast typist so I’m usually stuck beging distracted by a flickering blob of unrelated keywords while Google Suggest tries to keep up! So stupid! Here’s an idea…just limit this feature to the people who ask for it! Why should anyone have to disable a feature they never asked for? We’re not *all* novice computer users. I’m afraid Google really doesn’t make very good software engineering decisions these days. (Still can’t do a simple sort in Gmail because some Google employee doesn’t understand why it’s useful!) It’s kind of sad.
