Hi Peter, When you click search an http request is sent. When you click on any link in the internet or load any page, an http request is also sent. A request does not send information. The only information the server sees is your ISP's IP address, sort of a caller ID so it know whom to send the requested information to, and the request itself. Even if it does, since you click probably a hundred times a day sometimes even type URLs directly in the location bar, there would then be hundreds of opportunities to do it. Who needs a search button when an http request is already sent every second for every file and image requested? If Netscape didn't do it for the past six years I doubt if they would do it in the next 3 months. Regards, Bamm
