Re: IE 7 and Google Search
said by nwrickert  :Just block javascript from google, and the problem should be solved without having to store google cookies. That would work but Kye-U just wrote a filter for Proxo. 
Bye, bye Google Suggest. 
Anyone with Proxo wanting this filter here's the link. Again, thanks Kye-U!

| Some users don't even have the Preferences selections appearing for them yet. Another user posted this link to an alternate Google page where Google Suggest is not enabled. I don't know if it works without cookies though.

If Customize Google features do not block or enhance a Google feature it is a pretty good indicator the site changed.
You should contact the dev as I suggested if anything to let him know a feature needs fixed.
As to cookies well some worry about them and some eat them and some are crazy over what they think might happen if they use them.

said by Graycode :Their script name contains random-looking characters that isn't consistent. One way to stop it was to block anything that tries to access their path 'www.google.com/extern_js/f/'. My web monitor showed it was sending every character entered as a URL request as you're typing into its search box. No Thanks, Google. Thats friggin crazy. |

said by katarina :FWIW, I have always had the auto complete features in the IE Content tab de-selected, so what appears to be historical searches showing up now is very bizarre. I realize I should be able to delete them (and I will), I just am very uneasy that they are appearing at all ... especially since many are definitely not anything I ever entered. Edit: OK ... I was wrong. Even when using the IE tool to delete browsing history, these entries do not go away. They are not my entries. I intentionally made a typo in an entry and my entry does not appear on subsequent visits. The exact same entries in the Google search box in the middle of the page exist on two separate computers. FWIW, I am using XPHome SP2 and XPPro SP2 and IE7 on both machines. Please ... someone tell me it is not something that is isolated to my network. would having Google in Trusted sites have anything to do with it? |
