Alternatively, hundreds of reviews for the things you want to buy but with very few hits for anyone selling them. For me, Google seems to have become almost unusable. There now seems to be no way of turning off the once-optional 'predictive text' function (well, you can try, but it has no effect). As a result, from the first letter you type in, it gets excited and shoots off searching for what IT thinks you might be looking for. After finding (literally) millions of hits on something you're not looking for, it then runs out of puff, seizes up, and displays an 'unresponsive script' message. Eventually, it usually settles down, allows you to complete your typing, and finally condescends to search for what you REALLY want. -- Ian |

On my system (W7 pro using Chrome), the Amazon link was the fourth hit on searching "18287", hardly a sophisticated search expression. And two of the higher ones were eBay. |

Eventually, it usually settles down, allows you to complete your typing, and finally condescends to search for what you REALLY want. I get the reverse effect. Most of what I am searching for shows up below the search box as I am typing it in for me to select the one I want from. When it doesn't, like say with the CDC-713 vdu I was looking for the details for this morning, there were no hits on the first page because that turns out to be a color code for something or other, but there were useful hits on the next page. The only thing I ever have much trouble with is when there is no unique keyword that can be used with other qualifiers. Like say some detail about MS Access forms where the word access isnt unique at all. I also had some difficulty with entering that pseudo number to enable caller ID display on a voip capable phone, to see exactly what that code was supposed to do, but don't get that often. |

The predictive searching on that and other sites is javascript based so if you have a browser for basic work with javascript disabled then you avoid many annoying intrusions. Here I have Opera for basic work with javascript (and certain other fussy stuff) turned off and I use firefox for other stuff that requires it enabled. I deliberately installed an older version of Firefox (v21.0) as it gives you greater control of what runs in your browser (it can disable javascript easily if you so choose (later versions can't) and its control of cookies is nicer, I also have flash normally off and enable it only when I want to view something like youtube). -- fred it's a ba-na-na . . . . |
