I'm disapointed the latest version of your product comes bundled with this piece of software. There is no way to disable it from the screen entirely as you can see in this picuture. When disabling all the menu options it defaults back to the context and popup menu and gives an error message.

Why is this part of the software in the first place?

Secondly, be warned that most users report this software as nothing but malware and adware on the official firefox addon page located here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/reviews/display/3590

One user writes:
"Worthless now. They bundle in another addon called SearchMenu (used to be called Kallout) which is a big annoyance. Spam, monitoring your search habbits; pure crap. This should be raising red flags with the AMO editors"


That's basically how i feel and I will be uninstalling this addon.

i do actually love it although i do also understand the fact of why you are annoyed and disappointed with it. they probably will look at this one as a comment they have to regard to and consider to make the software better.

I can disable all the options of the BestGuess without any problem. I don't really know why there is are so much negative feedback about the SearchMenu.
