Google Has Dropped Google Instant Search

Wow, finally.

This was such a disruptive feature. Completely distracting from the moment you interact with the page. This wasn't a productivity bonus in any way, regardless of purported reading recognition rates and eye tracking/movement measurements.

No, computer. You wait until I'm finished. You wait until I tell you I want you to do something. You don't jump at every flinch of my fingers. Not all interactions require reaction.

Now if only they would stop swapping Images, News, and Shopping link around based on my search. I want a picture of whatever I searched for, that's why I clicked the button next to 'All' like I have a thousand times before - don't reorder your damn links from page to page!

Oh man, I hate that, especially when it pushes up Maps and relegates Videos to the "More" menu. Google tries to be way too clever for its own good.

Yep, that's the worst. Reordering static-looking buttons is awful, but promoting options in and out of a secondary menu is completely deranged design.

Oh man, thought it was just me. Always hated that 'feature'
