Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] question about changing things on google

Lisa:
I was going to suggest that you go into Google, choose Options, then choose Preferences, and then change the results settings there. However, as of this morning, the Options menu isn't there, and, given Google's new privacy policies that will take effect on March 1, I wonder if all Google users will now have to create a Google account to use the service. I've been playing around with Microsoft's Bing web search, and it appears to be able to show me the same results as Google with little mus or fuss. If Google requires all users to sign up for the service come March 1, Bing is where I will go.

Hi all,

If I use google as my home page I was wondering if there was any way to get it to stop giving me some suggestions when I type a web address after the www it starts talking while I am typing giving me suggestions.  This is a little annoying to me.  I looked on the page and I don't see anything that would do this except there is a link called options.  When I try to click on that it just sits there and doesn't go anywhere.  I don't know if they are using flash or not because at least some other links on the page work.  If anyone has an idea if I can make it stop giving me suggestions I would appreciate it .  Thanks very much.

Lisa
