1 edit | Can I get Google's normal, original auto complete back?
Many months ago, Google's normal search auto complete quit working and the search bar started to give suggested search results. Then, after a couple months of that, the normal auto complete started working again. You know, the one where it auto completes items that you have typed in instead of suggestions. Just tonight, the suggested auto complete came back! I hate it! Is there a way to get the old, original auto complete back? Not this stupid one:
Thanks much.

I wanted to go back to the way it was but once I did I noticed I actually needed the suggestive autocomplete |

Personally, I disable that Google search storage shit and also don't search while logged in. To each their own. |
