Meaning that: enter a search into the search box, click the search button where search info normally is, is blank/white. Followup and correction to my earlier post: All of the following assumes that Google cookies are rejected. 1) If I type a search string into the location bar and click Search (Google is my default search engine), the initial search works, but the URL of the hit page begins with https. If I click 2, 3, 4... to see more hits, the page goes pale and stops responding. 2) If I go directly to google.com and enter a search string in their window, the search works, and the hit page begins with http. I can do more searches or view additional hits from the original search without difficulty. I poked around in about:config and discovered that the specification for Google searches is located (on my Win7 Pro SP1 system) at C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey\searchplugins\google.xml. On examining that file, I learned that the search plugin calls Google thus: Url template=https://www.google.com/search; method=GET type=text/html Presumably someone more expert than me can tell you how to modify this string (if that's feasible) so as to call the http version of Google. It can't be done with SM open, as the file is locked (in use), and I don't want to abort a download in progress right now. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

I use this for search though, since I hate the auto fill: http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0 Thanks Paul (and Paul B.) your url works for me - even with HTTPS Everywhere[1]. I think I've tracked down the problem to using the Google SSL urls directly: https://www.google.com and/or https://encrypted.google.com See: https://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=enanswer=173733 I was using my bookmarked https://encrypted.google.com. Oddly enough, your url http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0 or even https://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0, works just fine. However, basic http://www.google.com or https://www.google.com gives me the same symptoms as using https://encrypted.google.com. So I tried: https://encrypted.google.com/webhp?complete=0 and that works as well. BTW: I normally use DuckDuckGo (https://duckduckgo.com/) but sometimes need to resort back to Google. I the only change that I did when this started happening was to update from SeaMonkey 2.14 to 2.14.1.
