Hey Folks,

Up until yesterday, when I went into Safari and typed 'stata/meeting' into the address bar, Safari would nicely expand this to http://www.stata.com/meeting after seeing that stata/meeting didn't go anywhere.

Today, when I type stata/meeting in, I get an annoying search page from my ISP, which looks to be a 'service' which does nothing for me. (This isn't an ISP local to Louisville, so the usual suspects don't apply.) Same thing when typing 'shoecarnival', even though this should resolve to www.shoecarnival.com.

I tried typing in the dns numbers for OpenDNS, and found that now something like 'shoecarnival' blinks the start of the OpenDNS page, but then goes to www.shoecarnival.com, but stata/meeting now goes to a 'helpful' search page at OpenDNS.

How do I get the usual behavior of Safari back, so that I don't forever get dragged to worthless services whose point is to advertise? Is this an unavoidable 'upgrade' from my provider, which will likely be seen as a 'service enhancement' warranting a price increase for 'value added'?

pissed, but possibly being stupid
