Hi, would it be possible to add a feature to turn instant type off too? I realise there is an option in google prefs that does this, but it would be great to have a script instead as I clear cookies after every session. Many thanks.

hi, i second this.. would love this feature to stop Google from instantly updating my search results when i type.. there is one other script to do this but that is not working (as per the author).. please please add this feature if you can because it'd be really awesome.

thanks,
san

I want that too

for Now we can use
http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0&hl=en
to turn off instant type

but later maybe google will remove "complete=0" parameter

thanks

Hi,

here is some code that seems to work for now:


// ==UserScript==
// @match http://google.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

function setCookie(c_name,value,expiredays)
{
var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays);
document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+
((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="+exdate.toUTCString());
}

function main() {
setCookie('NID', 'HZ12MMb5wphF9RCgHsO_PyIrLyQi1ZRJZlHwpf0fOqCAmLkJSO_0HrktmHJ3JwQK418G8anAXjnUczIEluyvqZG1mMCU', 365);
setCookie('PREF', 'ID=0b6602a2446a607b:U=c32f90da6ef29336:FF=0:LD=en:NR=10:CR=2:TM=1291820039:LM=1291820067:SG=2:S=zvdu3bQnoTXYSFPL', 365);
}

main();

try it.. not sure how much longer it will work though..

regards,
