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.

Subject: Google accessible search gone
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.
