modey Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 most of the time, when i'm searching for something, i know how to spell it, and if it's something obscure that is similar to something spelt differently, google 'helpfully suggests' what i 'might' be after, to the extent of not actually giving me the results i'm looking for. for example, i was looking for 'chanel 9', the fast show sketch, and got this: i know i could use quotes, or include the term 'fast show' to narrow it down, but there doesn't seem to be any way to turn off the autocorrect feature. it's happened to me a few times now, it's ridiculous!

chaosmachine Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 redirecting you to the more correct/popular search is a new feature, but you can bypass it by prefixing your keyword with a +plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest assegai Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 chrome's spell check sucks, a lot of the time it'l tell you you spelled something wrong without giving you a suggestion. If it doesn't know the correct spelling than how does it know you've spelled it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Enter a new display name Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 chrome's spell check sucks, a lot of the time it'l tell you you spelled something wrong without giving you a suggestion. If it doesn't know the correct spelling than how does it know you've spelled it wrong? I, also, find it annoying. Firefox's spell check is almost perfect though.

Guest spraaaa Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 it pisses me off when I read about something, say on craigslist, search for it, and get the page I was on in the first 3 results. can't trust them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
