L0rdG1gabyt3 OFFLINE veteran The character limit on this box is too small for m Posts: 677	Anyone notice Google Instant today? Mine went to it this morning, and I gotta tell ya, I think it....... STINKS!!! I really dont like the way it works. It seems to be kinda sluggish. Give me back my regular old, press enter to search Google any day. So what if I have to press an extra button to search. That is the way it was intended to be. Anyway, what do you all think?

EDIT: Nevermind. I see that if you type a word that could lead to certain unsavory results it still makes you press enter. OKAY THEN.

You can already customize your "home" page through google and add everything from stock quotes to horroriscope stuff. You just have to sign-in and then drag the icons to their place you want them.

All i can remember is they were talking about it on Bob & Tom a few day ago when it went live and Bob was trying to type in something and all that came up was Titanic or Titans and he was really looking to search for T*ts, it was pretty funny. They kept saying, "no, it doesn't know what i'm trying to find"
