[WEB4LIB] RE: going "back" from sites

[TMGB]

On searches I almost always right click and bring up the link in a new
window for at least three reasons.

1. I can go exactly back to where I was on the searchpage
2. because the cr_p that happens like the going back problem
3. I can compare the information from two sites in the search results
without having to jump through all the links back and forth.

I can always hit reload to be on the same search page and want the
visited links to change color.  I work very often with multiple browser
windows open (on purpose).  This is the best fix I've found especially
for search sites and found that I've been very thankful that I did.  On
occasion though you will find this no back problem after you've got into
the sight and have to resort to the afore mentioned alternatives.
