Anyone know how to disable the cross-application find pasteboard 
completely, either for particular apps or for the entire OS? I just 
don't want it. I search for something on Google using Safari, which 
conveniently puts my search term on Safari's find pasteboard, which 
conveniently puts it on the OS find pasteboard, which conveniently 
blasts away whatever I had in the find box in my editor. I've already 
learned how to fix so many general OS X peculiarisms by reading this 
list, I figured someone here might know how to do this.
