[WEB4LIB] Re: Obnoxious IE behavior

[A.Helfman]

         But in version 5.5 (I haven't used IE 6), it is possible to turn 
off this "feature":
Tools --> Internet Options --> Advanced --> Settings: Search from the 
Address Bar --> select "Do not search from Address bar".  Let the browsers 
browse!  ;)
