If the browser gives an option to turn it off, that's the first thing I do.

Silly crapola like this should always, always, always be at the discretion
of the user. To do otherwise is to adopt Apple's odious and arrogant "You
don't really need to do what you think you need to do, and you certainly
don't need to do it the way you think you want to do it. Otherwise we'd
have let you" behaviour.

Apple's HI guidelines are quite specific that configuration choices should be made, whenever possible, by the programmer and not by the user. Camino follows the HIG. The whole point is that we as software designers are the ones who should make the difficult decisions of what works and what doesn't. My impression is that most people like type-ahead find. Personally I think it's a major feature (and something no other mac browser has too).


Anyway, there's probably a user_pref you can install to turn it off if you really want to.
