Search Engines For Newbies

Yahoo and Google are the two big search engines, but they both have auto complete pop downs when you type in your search and I hate that. Is it possible to change settings in my browser to stop this from happening? Failing that is there a reliable third search engine I could use?

I was in the library with some friends and we were doing some research for some term papers. We all put in the same search criteria into the yahoo search engine and out of the 6 of us only 2 got the same exact search results (after a couple of tries). What would cause this type of anomaly to happen?
Okay, the same, exact identical criteria, entered in the same time fram of 3 seconds, using pcs that are running windows xp. The destination site has not changed and is accessible by the administrators computer, is a regularly used site that can be viewed by any age group (safe).
