@osgx: If you use Opera's bookmark nickname, you only have to type google and press Enter, and Opera will go to http://www.google.com/?complete=0. (Edited answer to emphasize this.) When I first read your question, I thought Opera was your main browser, right?

Revised to empahsize bookmark nickname means you can just type "google" and press Enter.

@osgx: Autocomplete is certainly useful, it allows you to determine if you still need to provide extra query words on the fly or if the current query words already provided you an useful link. It prevents that you have to Type -> Search -> Type -> Search and wait for those individual Searches, with Google Instant it's as simple as Type -> Type and you end up spending less time on the search. A work-around is just avoidance of the problem and is nowhere near a solution. Just entering google.com requires you to add ?complete=0 or you are forced to enter the search box, that's a loss of time.

| Aug 27, 2011 at 6:14 | comment | added | osgx | But autocomplete is not useful in most cases; also it will spy on user (which keys are pressed, what was entered into search field). I think, this may be the solution of problem. | |
