    i dunno what its really called – but its the one where it automatically changes what you searched for, if it thinks you’ve got it wrong.

    its bloody annoying.

    is there any way of turning it off?

    for example, i just searched for something in chumphon (thailand), and it decided i actually wanted to search for ‘chump’, and so changed the search results, and asked me if i actually wanted to search for chumphon. YES, WHICH IS WHY I TYPED CHUMPHON>

    FFS. if i’ve types domething wrong, suggest the correct one for sure, but don’t **** change it without my persmission, BECAUSE I MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN SEARCHING FOR WHAT I TYPES.

    FOR WHAT I TYPES

    I think I may have identified the problem.

    I would have thought you’d have found the correction quite useful considering that you keep hitting “s” instead of “d”.

    chumphon doesn’t have a ‘d’ in it.

    it just did it again – i typed ‘mui ne tourist office’ (its in vietnam), and it gave me maine in the US. FFS.

    anyway, i will look through the settings, thanks.

    i don’t want holidays there anyway, just the tourist office (it didn’t seem to have one)

    instant search now switched off, and searches going much better.

    thanks.
