jakem1 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 The settings button is the cog in the top right hand corner. I know what you mean about the things like Google Instant being irritating though. It drove me to Bing and I've never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htcz Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 There is no settings option anywhere on the page. Clicking "Even more" just throws me to their products page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htcz Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Another bad design choice: You have to make a search first then the cog appears: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cork1958 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Another bad design choice: You have to make a search first then the cog appears: No you don't have to sign in. It SHOULD be to the immediate right of the sign in button. Another way to edit prefs is to quit using it (Google) !! As one poster said above, Googles annoying crap like this is what has made me NEVER use Google!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to make a search first and then in the search results, the cog shows up and then you can change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
