I don't find this
a bother at all in Google, I just type what I want to type, if something pops
up which is what I want then good and if not then I just finish typing my
search term and press enter.
In any case, you
have to actually arrow down to get these search suggestions as you type, maybe
they are showing up visually for a sighted person, but Jaws never speaks
anything other than what I just typed.
Of course I am
actually going to www.Google.com and type
into the search edit combo box, I never use the address bar unless I want to
enter an actual URL.
Having said that,
turning auto complete or whatever you want to call it is easy for the address
bar, I quite like it because when I go to websites I visit regularly I just
have to type the first couple of letters and press enter when I hear the
correct one. For example, if I want to go to Amazon.ca I typically get the
suggestion after typing just the A

Shortcuts Below The Search Edit Box
I use Waterfox as my
browser. I use duckduckgo.com, as my default search engine. When I
need to use google.com and enter the search edit fieled, as soon as I start
typing, google.com starts performing its delimited word function,
however, I do not have this problem, when I perform searches using
duckduckgo.com. When I log into my google.com account, I do not seem to be
able to find where to turn this annoying function off? Can you or anyone help
me?

Hi, Sieghard. I
don't get a more options button either, but I also have predictability
turned off in all my browsers, because I want to type in exactly what I am
searching for, without my browser giving me phrases to search for which I
didn't want.

I agree with Brian and I am not sure what all these More
Options buttons are because I certainly don't get them. When I just brought
up a list of buttons on the Google home page I only had 6, then when I
maximized the Window I had 8, but only because when the Window was maximized
"Google Search" and "I'm Feeling Lucky" showed up twice. I don't even get a
single "More Options" button.
Not sure if Mark said which browser he is using when he
posted his original message, but that would be good to know.

Mark,
What I cannot figure out is why you're using
any form of buttons list. If you want the list of recently trending
searches, then get in the search edit box and down arrow, they will be
read. If you want some subset of searches you've done before, enter a
couple of characters in the search edit box and down arrow.
Your
original request states, " I’ve finally noticed a number of what looks
like recent shortcuts below the search edit box on the Google
homepage." These are not buttons, have never been buttons, and are not
accessed as buttons. You just down arrow through them and, in the case
of trending searches, these constantly change and may be different if you
jump out of the list or edit search box and come right back to it just a
moment later.
