If you don't like Google's bells & whistles (I personally hate them) try http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?complete=0&hl=en, or use the mobile page http://www.google.com/xhtml.

Before Google (hard to imagine now) it was altavista and excite for me.

I believe the first link you mentioned is the one I was advised to try to avoid the instant search, diddnt work for long...

Thanks for your input anyway :D

Employees are like mules. Some you stand in front of and coax them along with a carrot. Some you stand behind and kick them in the arse. The key to management is knowing which mules are which!

... or turn off your javascript. That kills it for good :) But you have to re-enable it for any google services (mail, blog etc). I use the NoScript add-on for Firefox, you can set javascript preferences per site.

Baidu.com for me
http://google.com/ncr (to disable the crappy region check) for english searching

I use Google.
Back in the day I used Magellan, Northern Light, Excite and Ask Jeeves.
Wow, that was years ago!
