I use yahoo as my primary search engine, but I extremely dislike having the Search Assist being activated after I perform a number of searches as I have absolutely no use for that feature.

I know I can deactivate this feature by going into the "search assist settings" and select "Never - Do not automatically display search suggestions", but this only works as long as my browser is up and I rarely login to my yahoo account to search, which means I have to disable it DAILY, sometimes several times daily if I happen to close out my browser and reopen it.

So how do I permanently disable yahoo search assistant? I basically never want to see it again.

For some reason my Message Rules aren't effecting spam from entering my inbox, even when the message meets the criteria of my message rules (specifically those pertaining to words found in the body of the message).

For example if I configure it to: "Apply this rule after the message arrives where the message body contains MONOPOLY delete it from the server".

I then send myself an email from my yahoo account with the word MONOPOLY in the body and it shows up in my Outlook inbox.

If I change "delete from server" to "Delete it", it will divert the message to my Delete box, but I want to configure it so no spam gets into Outlook at all. If I select the action "Do not download from the server, it still shows up in my inbox.

Is it that Outlook message rules only work AFTER the message is received, and I'm forced to have these messages end up in my delete box or inbox?

My previous anti-spam program worked well until a 'version upgrade' made it seem more like a downgrade.
