Certainly Konqueror and Mozilla do, and, as with IE, it >is pretty easy to turn the feature off. I think you might have misunderstood the man. Try typing some non-existing webadress such as "www.kruugly.com" into your address bar. The results: Netscape: "Netscape is unable to locate the server" IE 5 (macintosh): "The specified server could not be found" IE 5 (win): BRINGS UP A NEW PAGE AT SEARCH.MSN.COM However, I don't think it's a biggie. Please end this thread. It's certain that Microsoft has a strange arcane agenda, but that should be news to noone;) cheers, //Martin
