Re: [newbie] galeon search
Well, I just upgraded my system from 8.2 to 9.0. In 8.2 typing a word without a suffix in the galeon address bar took me to [thatword].com. This is the behavior that I would prefer. There does not seem to be a place to specify which behavior I would like. Secondly, the current search page it sends me to (ultimatesearch) is not acceptable. It does not even do the search for you, it just leaves you on the index page. This is a bug which needs to be fixed. - Paul On Fri, 2002-11-08 at 14:01, Technoslick wrote: I did this in Galeon: cnn ENTER I got: keyword:cnn in Google, with the search results in the browser's window.

If you do not type in a the suffix, it will assume that you are asking for a search on that word.

Hi, Charlie, changing the preferences in Mozilla was a really good guess, and I thought it would work.
