Go to above URL and save as home page, the the hideously annoying "Google Instant" will be disabled if you so wish.

Here's a description of Google Instant and Google Autocomplete - for those who have no idea what this is about.

You might have it and not know what it's called.

"You won't see results appear as you type if any of the following is true:
you search from a page that's not the Google homepage or a search results page
you search from your iGoogle page rather than the classic homepage
you search using Google SSL
you use an Internet browser that's not one of these supported browsers: Firefox 3 and later versions, Safari 5 for Mac and later versions, Internet Explorer 8, and Google Chrome 5 and later versions"

I use 'mostly' Opera...

Well, both ins and auto have been useful at times, and are easily overridden.
No problema.
