Instant Search is Crashing my Browser

[texxs]

I have a medium tier laptop and Google's instant search crashes IE 8, every time, slows firefox considerably, crashes Firefox sometimes and has even crashed Windows when using IE* twice now. And it's been out for what, one day?

Needless to say, I'm not a big fan of the instant search thing.

Anyone else having this problem?

No, I haven't got that issue, and my computer is dang old ... we do have a thread on Instant search in general in case you haven't seen that: http://www.webproworld.com/webmaster...s-Being-Tested ...

Its should work on the following Browsers according to them; the following browsers: Chrome v5/6, Firefox v3, Safari v5 for Mac and Internet Explorer v8. google.com/instant/

You can disable the instant search if you like.

I was having issues with it in Firefox. I went into preferences and turned it off - it was driving me crazy anyway.

Instant search gets on my nerves...WTH...spinning wheels before I even get my key words straight. LOL
I'm not so frantic, I can't wait a fraction of a second for results to appear.

I have had it crash the browser a couple times and had to switch it off, but usually I leave it on.

Instant search is another gadget from the boys at GG. Bing and Yahoo give me excellent results too, just a milisecond later.

No, I hadn't seen it thanks..., I gave a little look too, guess I'll look a little harder next time.

I haven't had a single problem with it on any browser or on any computer. I did notice "Google Instant" disabled itself once when my kids were watching Netflix in the living room. Google Instant indicated my connection at that time was too slow to operate.

@opticburst
same problem (on satellite internet)
i can use it for about four searches and then it says google instant is now stopped due to bandwidth restriction
it uses one heck of alot more bandwidth because one search is now one search for nearly every letter of my search

Thanks for the input all. I didn't even realize I could disable it . . . I will.

I see now the other thread is about the SEO implications of the new instant search. This is different, I did see that other post and still decided to open this one.
