Have any of you sent Google a problem report and told them how slow and crappy the new search is? Unless you let them know you don'y like it they will never make changes. I've sent several.

Ya right....

Your notion is spot on...however their is a catch...

Do a Google Search (The Irony is Delicious) of : "New Google Image Search Sucks"...

Or: "Turn Off Google Chrome"

Or: "Stop Google Chrome"...

=============

Now of course Google controls the output of the search and invariably your linked back to posts by and from its staff stating the following canned talking points garbage:

"Instead of complaining about it tell us how we can make it better"...

 :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

So let me get this straight ???? We have a steaming pile of dog krap sitting in the middle of the living room, and the dog that made it is asking "US" how we can make his steaming pile smell and taste better...

Go ahead and post on their feed back....if your so inclined...

However...I think the public airwaves such as this are a better place to vent...and the web is full of angst over this latest "improvement"...

Maybe their filtering algorithm on: "Google 'has created a vacuum condition at their oral interface'" will blow a gasket...

Google is screwing up what got them where they are...

They are going the metallica route.

They made their mark one way and moving away from success.

Google was a simple great search engine then they started adding fluff.

Metallica used the net to build their fan base then attacked their fans.

What really ticked me off was today's absolutely ridiculous dancing dots Logo thing that reminded me of a Twister Game sheet after too many cocktails...


Concerning Google Chrome: I installed it, used it for one day and then kicked off my hard-drive. I am happy with Firefox.

Concerning Dancing Dots Logo:

Quote: The Washington Post (10/8/2010) http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fasterforward/2010/09/another_day_another_goofy_goog.html

Another day, another goofy Google logo

For the second day in a row, Google's home-page logo doesn't just sit there. But instead of turning into a sort of "follow the bouncing ball" game as Tuesday's animated logo did, today's version simply changes color from gray to its usual hues as you type a query, one letter at a time.

The reason for all this fuss should be apparent at 12:30 Eastern today, when the Web firm has scheduled a press conference in San Francisco to announce something new in search technology. Reports--see, for instance, those from Business Insider and Google Operating System--point to the arrival of "streaming search," in which Google displays search results matching your input as you type them, instead of simply suggesting matching search terms as you enter a query.

Yep, this new 'read your mind search' is annoying. What happens if I'm googleing something like "Sextant" in front of a bunch of people but have a hard time finding the T button?

Google has gone insane with all its flash based chrome junk...

Does anyone know a way to turn off all that junk and just go back to plain html version ?

Believe what you want, but I picked it up at the bookstore a few months ago to have a nice big book to take on summer camping trips.  The lady at the counter asked me how I liked the series and actually yelled at me because I was starting the series with this book.  :furious

Happily enough, I just use the search bar built into FireFox. I suppose I could NoScript it all if I REALLY felt the need.

Do note that you can turn off predictive searches in the search settings. If you have an account, it sticks. If not, it just drops a cookie.

That happens when you use Netscape Navigator. :D
