Gerald,
I posted about this very issue a couple of days ago. Although it seems
that you are not modifying those spiffy new slider bars on the google
options page, you actually are. There is just no feedback. On the
Instant Predictions slider, home sets it to on, and end sets it to off. On
the results per page slider, I don't remember, but using the arrow keys,
or page up and down keys changes the value. I confirmed this with the
help of my wife's eyes. She let's me borrow them occasionally.
Having said all that, I've been unable to get my settings to stick. I
even set my security and privacy settings to off just to make sure that
nothing was blocking google from dropping cookies onto my machine. No
joy.
What I did find is that I can construct a URL with some of my preferences
built into the URL, then bookmark that URL and use it instead of just
going to www.google.com
Here is an example of a URL that sets instant to off, auto complete to
off, and results per page to 50.
http:www.google.com/?ion=0&complete=0&num=50
If you go to that URL, then bookmark it in your favorites, you can then
just go to your bookmarks any time you want to go to google, and you will
get a page with no instant, no autocomplete, and 50 results per page set
for you.
I haven't figured out some of the other preferences yet, but will work on
it when I get more time.
