I know that I went to Bill's site and now when I type s I get
www.stata.com/meeting
as a choice.

For finding sites I use the plug in inquisitor a lot.

I think your guess is correct about the DNS and I also think Ed is right
about Safari getting a link for stata/meeting from your browsing
history. I've tried variations on that idea with my own sites. Before
resetting Safari, things like louisville/~lee and louisville/ blackboard
would find the pages I expected. After resetting or turning on private
browsing, they no longer work.

You've got to admit Safari moving from stata/meeting to
www.stata.com/meeting
  is a pretty long jump without some sort of help from a cache.
