The proven option of blocking it by adding <strong>clients1.google.com<\/strong> to the list of blocked sites in Firefox&#8217;s AdBlock Plus no longer works.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I killed it by installing the new <a href=\"http:\/\/userscripts.org\/scripts\/show\/59916\">DisableAutocomplete<\/a> script for Firefox&#8217;s GreaseMonkey addon.  Once installed, you need to right-click on the little Monkey icon in the bottom-right of your browser window, and go to Manage User Scripts | DisableAutocomplete | &#8230; and then add in whatever the exact URL of your Google search homepage is.<\/p>\n<p>There is one unfortunate side-effect, which affects those wanting to use the drop-down Google sidebar on the left of the screen.  It won&#8217;t unfold when you click on it. Those who need to access the left-hand drop-down sidebar in search results should also add <a href=\"http:\/\/userscripts.org\/scripts\/show\/79742\">Google Remove Junk<\/a> alongside DisableAutocomplete.<\/p>\n<p>For those maintaining Google CSEs:  Your site URLs list will refuse to load while DisableAutocomplete is running.  Simply turn it off temporarily, while you add or delete site URLs to your Google CSE.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE, Nov 2010:<\/strong> Set your browser&#8217;s Google homepage URL to: http:\/\/www.google.com\/webhp?complete=0&amp;hl=en  This will disable autocomplete without scripts or add-ons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uh oh, the horrible Google &#8220;Autocomplete&#8221; function is back (aka: dumb flickery search-suggestions which appear as you type in a &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/2010\/05\/27\/disable-google-autocomplete-may-2010\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4855","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jurn-tips-and-tricks","category-jurns-google-watch"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4855"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4855\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
