How to Turn Off Instant Search in Google.

"Instasearch" or "Instant Search" was a new feature introduced by the search engine Google in 2010. Instead of pressing "Enter" on your keyboard or clicking "Search" with your mouse to perform a Web search, Google would automatically search and display results based on the characters you had already entered into your Web browser. This feature can be disabled from the main Google page.

Instructions:
  • Open your Web browser and go to the Google website.
  • Type your search term into the "Search" box. Because "Instant Search" is enabled, search results will immediately start to appear while typing.
                                         
  • Click the "Instant is On" link on the right side of the "Search" box. Click "Off" to disable "Instant Search" on Google.
