BTW, I should have mentioned that all the GUI browsers have a search button next to the URL locator, and that its presense is NOT what makes Mozilla and Netscape act differently. I looked at that after I sent my post and thought you might misunderstand what I meant. ;-)

I did this: cnn.com And got http://www.cnn.com/, which is what is expected by most of us. Are you saying that you 'are', or 'are not', typing the suffix (i.e; .com, .net, .org...) when you enter only a partial URL? If you do not type in a the suffix, it will assume that you are asking for a search on that word. If I type in the suffix (.com), and not the prefix (www.) or transport protocol (http://), Galeon will assume that you are looking for a URL address and handle it accordingly. This is not really unusual for a modern Web browser. Internet Explorer in Windows acts this way, as does Galeon and Konqueror in Linux. However, I have noticed that Netscape and Mozilla will treat anything typed in the URL locator as a URL. The reason for that is that both programs supply a search button to the right of the URL locator to do what the other would do automatically. It may be a function of the using the Geiko engine that they both now share. Half a dozen of one, six of another --- what's more important to you? :-) T ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Rodriguez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "newbie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 9:35 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] galeon search Actually, http://mandrake will take me to http://www.ultimatesearch.com/ as well. - paul On Fri, 2002-11-08 at 09:17, Marty Wedepohl wrote: > Make sure you have the prefix 'http://' in front of anything you enter. > > > Nope, not a search box, I've been typing it in the address pane.
