Actually, calculator results do not show up for me in the drop down
list whether or not instant is on; I wish they did.  I remember them
appearing in that list before but now they do not.  I can get the
calculator results by hitting enter.  I would like to keep instant on
because I do use the auto-complete when making searches, but I don't
want the current web page to disappear while I type.
