| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | DC Lopez | 2/12/12 9:47 PM | Using Google Chrome, this has been happening to me as well. I have found two workarounds: First, sign out of Google services altogether. When using Google Search anonymously, it respects search preferences in Chrome. The other solution is to use a di |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | halvorz | 2/13/12 9:00 PM | Same problem. Go into options, says Instant is off, but it's not. Cookies are enabled. No problem in Firefox. Incredibly annoying. Agreed on the new tab page, but that's another issue. |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | Kweegz | 2/14/12 7:59 AM | Same issue here. Using Chrome also. My search settings say instant is off, but it's not off and won't turn off. I, like so many others with whom I've discussed it, hate the Instant Results. It will almost certainly drive me to a non-Google browser i |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | Gzornenplat | 2/14/12 8:08 AM | @Arrogance Signing out of Google just so their browser works as it is supposed to isn't really an option for me since I need my email to come in, so abandoning Chrome seems to be the only solution. @halvorz True, the new tab page is a completely dif |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | lee.kyuh | 2/14/12 2:10 PM | This also happens on my latest Chrome. (Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit) Is there any official bug reporting site? Google, please make the current stuffs working well before adding unnecessary gimmicks. Google Instant is the worst "feature" invented in Google's |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | miron721 | 2/15/12 7:47 PM | Same thing is happening to me, I really don't like instant and it's turned off both in chrome settings and google settings, but it still happens. This is the first I've noticed it though, it started a few days ago. I'm running chrome 16.0.912.77 m o |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | cjbluenemo | 2/16/12 11:33 AM | Yeah. This has happened recently to me as well. And it's really about to grind my last nerve. I can't stand Google Instant, and being limited to only ten results per page is annoying. |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | randster | 2/16/12 9:50 PM | Cookies enabled. I go into Preferences and it says Instant is turned off, I close out of Chrome completely, make sure it's not running in my Windows Task Manager.

| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | lee.kyuh | 2/19/12 1:47 PM | Kudos to Chibby, your workaround works for me. I'll stick to your solution until Google fixes this annoying bug. Thanks ! |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | WyrdestGeek | 2/20/12 10:03 AM | I have the same issue as others here: Using chrome, Instant Search is on, and it won't turn off--yes I checked search settings in Google.com. Also, I'm *not* signed in to the Google Chrome web browser, so that's not it. I'm getting tired of feelin |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | rhoo | 2/21/12 9:00 AM | version 17.0.963.56 here and can't turn off the obnoxious instant results. guess it's google's strategy of forcing more page views. |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | neacost | 2/21/12 7:10 PM | This is killing me. The Instant results make me feel like I am going to have a seizure. Nothing I am doing is working. It uses up all my computer power, randomly crashes...it used to be awesome & now it is becoming IE. |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | nervusvagus | 2/22/12 5:58 AM | THIS ISSUE IS AS ANNOYING AS THIS MESSAGE IN ALL CAPS. SERIOUSLY. yea. seriously. It's simply impossible to turn off instant search results, it goes back to google instant after a few days and thats incredibly annoying. I'm thinking of going back to |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | Thomas S | 2/22/12 8:23 AM | Instant is OFF in preferences. If I search from a google URL, it doesn't use instant but give me the 100 results I want.

| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | Thomas S | 2/22/12 8:36 AM | I found the answer on http://www.groovypost.com/howto/disable-google-instant-search-chrome/ To disable the damned thing, one has to go into Chrome options and add a new search engine with parameters to set it off. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO DAMNED CO |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | rhoo | 2/22/12 3:34 PM | seems to be ok today. doesn't look like chrome updated to a new version or anything. just mysteriously started to work as advertised. bizarre. |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | rhoo | 2/23/12 6:39 AM | problem is back again today for me. looks like some but not all google servers are affected by this "feature". the link in thomas.s post seems to have done the trick. thanks |

| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | leftbreak | 2/26/12 11:26 AM | Have you tried the solution posted above? That worked fine for me. I did have to make sure I had the google search edited exactly the way that is shown... |
| Re: Google Instant won't turn off in Chrome. | rickyw | 2/27/12 12:54 PM | I was a having the same problem. I go into search settings, turn off instant, and set results to 100. Completely ignored. It gives me instant anyway. I went ahead and turned off instant in search options anyway, and set it for 100 results. Then, in |
