Youtube now REQUIRES One to link a Youtube Account to a Google Account

This effin' pisses me off big time! Well, it would've been just fine if I didn't hate how the search engine works if you're logged onto a Google account.When you're logged into a Google account whenever you search for something & type it in the search bar as you type each letter the site not only gives you a "suggestion" as to what you may be looking for, the search engine "automatically" lists/shows search results that may be what you were looking for. It's kind of like this.Say I'm looking for RomUlation.. As I type R O M U L A T I O N the search engine immediately shows search result after search result per letter instead of showing you a search result after you finished inputting whatever it is you are searching for then clicking on search or pressing enter. I hate this system as you could easily be victimized by a redirecter virus/malware with it.Let Google say this feature is an Account holder "privilege" but to me it's a piece of crap system :PAnd now that they require you to permanently link your Youtube account to a Google account the search feature can no longer be removed unless you log out of Youtube :(First off, I like Youtube & I don't want to ever log off my account. Second, I hate Google's search function when you are logged onto an account & now, you require me to permanently link both!? Frickin' annoying Google :PI wouldn't be fuming like this if they still allowed one to unlink accounts which solves my issue, but no :P they've made linking accounts a permanent requirement now, ugh! this is frustrating :P

I think that live search thing can be turned off

It wouldn't let me watch youtube videos unless I logged out because I don't have a google account. Dumb idea IMO. I don't upload anyway so it make no difference to me.

That live search thing is annoying. I think it's only my computer, but whenever I start typing, letters will be skipped over as I write.But srsly, you could have looked around for the disable button before posting this.

@Laughing Stock: LOL! Me getting pissed off got the better of me instead of looking for a way to turn it off *facedesk*I did manage to find how to turn it off by the way :)

Oh no, Google's integrating their systems! They're using live search, which makes things so much easier and gives just as few risks as mistyping a google search! Heaven forbid they expand their business and make things easier for us, respectively.

It's been a pain in the ass for me."I am a stupid jerkfaec" would come out as, "I a stid jrkfae" when I type stuff.

Never had a problem with live search. I've had more problems trying to remember which one of my accounts are for anime, family or trolling.

Live search is helpful and a good idea and can be easily disabled.
As for the linking that pissed me off something chronic.
On the link of youtube you it required your phone number to create a google account lucky I just made one from google and linked that way.

Hotmail requires you to give them some credit info if you need to prove you're over 18.
