Anyone know if it's possible to turn Personalized Search off? Like have it off by default? I *HATE* the fact that they are tinkering with the serps because they *THINK* they know what I want to see. Just give me the F'ing natural results. Why cant people just leave things that aren't broken alone? :::waits for Google to totally ruin the one thing that made them successful:::
I know what you mean. For the last two days they've been sticking me with their new layout... the one that shows the stuff on the left. I hate it. Can't turn it off either. Google sucks
That's a pretty crap idea, I wanna stay logged in and receive natural SERPs. On your comment about leaving things taht aren't broken, I rather like the new way of showing more relevent stuff to me. Usually my "I'm feeling lucky" button is right. There must be some option... I'll go look. Update: If you're logged into Google, go to the Edit Services section and delete personalised search.
I agree. I use one browser with cookies completely disabled for visiting most sites. That avoids the issue of tracking
i dont like the personalized search either..it seems like a little privacy issue personally right when you make your first search while signed in you can have the option to turn it off
