Blocking Google "Best Match popup"

[Pondboy]

How the feck do you block the annoying "Best match" window that pops up every now and again in the bottom right of your screen after a Google search.

As far as I can make out it is part of the Google toolbar, which I don't particularly want to disable, but there doesn't seem to be a separate option for disabling the popup.

Am using IE8 at the mo. PB

OR

John,

Cheers, I didn't have "quick scroll" selected, but I'm playing with those options on two systems and will see what works.

Found this image during my first test search in the toolbar. A Neapolitan Mastiff puppy. Didn't get the popup window either. PB

John,

Yup, that fixed it. "Quick scroll" was enabled in my Google login, but not in Pondgirls. Cheers. PB
