Please turn off real time search Google!

Anyone else finding that thing bloody annoying? Could they at least make it opt-in?

I type in a query and expect to see a nice list of relevant results, but now instead I see not only a couple of adverts (which I’ve gotten used to ignoring, unless a company is stupid enough to bid on their own name, in which case I click it) but now 2 massive twitter quotes too, which pushed the search results to almost below the pagefold on my 15″ laptop screen!
