I forgot to mention, that if you actually want to go to the google home 
page, and not have "google instant" on, you can create a favorite of:

www.google.com/search?complete=0

This will take you to the search page as if you had gone to www.google.com 
then clicked on the "screen reader" link.

Also, if you click on the screen reader link, you can then see the options 
link for setting your search preferences.

Lastly, there are a bunch of tokens, like the complete=0 that you can add 
to the URL in your favorites.  For example, I prefer 20 hits per page, no 
google instant, and open links in a new window.  For that, my favorite 
looks like this:

http://www.google.com/search?complete=0&num=20&newwindow=1

Now, when I go to that URL, google instant is turned off, and when I 
search, I get 20 results per page, and when I click on a result link it 
opens in a new window.

Hope that is somewhat helpful for folks who want preferences, but don't 
want to deal with the preferences page or cookies.
