Doesn't work on iGoogle

I use iGoogle for my home page. I don't generally see the logo changes that get so much hype, and Google Instant doesn't have any place to show results there. Also, I use the Chrome browser, so I never even open a Google page to search. I just type my search into the address bar, hit return, and then search results pop up.

So, my use of two Google products (iGoogle and Chrome) means I will pretty much never experience Google Instant unless I look for it on purpose?

Auto-complete is MANDATORY

Yes, you can turn off Google Instant. The autocomplete function, however, is mandatory for everybody. It's annoying and messes up your own browser's auto-complete function.

To complain about this, go here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web+Search/thread?tid=5a69f1094357f31b&hl=en and feel free to castigate Kelly F, Google Employee. She's the one who wrote, "As Autocomplete quality has improved, we felt it was appropriate to have it always on for all of our users."

Arrogant much?!

clever !

if you search for porn, sex or other naughty stuff, no results are being shown.
instead you are required to press enter to search

For the resulting fun:

autocompleteme.com

That redirects you to failblog.org. I thought that this "feature" was already standard, since they've numerous screen shots.
