    Sorry.  Only speaking from experience.  I'm a bing user not
    because I prefer microsoft, but because I like it's search the
    best, so why not put it here?  And the thingo regarding SEO kind
    of just slipped.  I didn't mean to say it out loud.  Sorry about
    that, guys, though it's so true.  I'm not gonna lie.

    Typical of this damn computer and Windows Vista. Junk appearing
    and functions changing randomly.

    I am on google many times a day and haven't looked at my cookies
    in months!

        If you don't turn it off, Google tries to guess what you are
        searching for.  And you won't necessarily hear what is being
        added to your terms before you hit enter.

        There seems to be a new link asking users of screen readers to
        click to turn off Google Instant what ever that is. I haven't
        seen that before today.

            The google accessible search interface, which was here:

            http://labs.google.com/accessible/

            is now gone/inactive, and when looking for reasoning, I
            found the following blog related to google's labs
            development/experiments, so seems will just have to go
            back to using the normal google search for now...:

            Pity, since the accessible search interface was quite a
            bit cleaner, and also ranked search results a bit
            differently based on the 'cleanliness' of their content,
            but anyway.
