The odd thing is, typing "keyword:mandrake" will take me too "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=mandrake&btnG=Google+Search"; which is what you describe. But typing just "mandrake" takes me to "http://ultimatesearch.com"; - Paul > > And got http://www.cnn.com/, which is what is expected by most of us. > > Are you saying that you 'are', or 'are not', typing the suffix (i.e; .com, > .net, .org...) when you enter only a partial URL? > > If you do not type in a the suffix, it will assume that you are asking for a > search on that word.
