google-search
I'm trying to turn off personal results in Google search but I can't find where the settings are.
I am directed to my Google account's Search Settings but the section I need – "Search plus Your World" – is not on my list of options.
How do I bring this up to disable the thing?
Visit https://www.google.com/history/, log in and click the "Pause Web History" button near the top of the page.
Then, if you wish, click the "Clear entire Web History" link just below that.
Actually, the pages previews you dislike so much are your ticket to the cached page version – the link to the cached page has been moved into the preview area:
As to the preview itself, there is no way to completely disable it I am aware of. However, if you close a preview by clicking the small closing cross in its right upper corner, previews should only pop up when you hover over the >> area to the right of the search results.

It's not under "Search plus your world", it is under "Personal results".
Make sure you are signed into your Google account, go to www.google.com, click on the gear on the top right of the page, and select "Search settings".
