Also, what yellow tooltip in OSX?

Here's an example : When working on Adobe Photoshop CS4, I want to add some text to an image. When I mouse over to the font size dialog box, a yellow tooltip pops up to tell me what I am looking at. The tooltip is small, but its still too big and covers the actual font size dialog box. This happens on a few programs so I don't think its an adobe problem, instead its a mac os/x setting that I can't find how to adjust. Frustrating!

I don't mind the auto complete function. I think it works pretty well.

It does help if you understand how to search though.
utilizing all the tools they give you (time frame, discussions/images/web/etc) phrase search, etc etc etc helps too.
one needs to understand the possible other contexts of the words they are using too. concepts that cannot be really specifically worded, not such good results.
tooltips seemed pretty easy. The top several search results seemed like they were successful to me. "how to disable yellow tooltip on mac" was my first try ...

True. One thing that sucks though is that if I am searching for something I wish the date of publication was as relevant as the sites themselves. Sometimes I will be reading something for a few minutes before realizing that the info is old or out of date. There should be a nice little check box beside the search button that ads dates instead of having it in the advanced / config area.
