Nasty if it's true. I have noticed for a while that as I type into the IW / FF Google search box, a drop down list of suggestions (separate from a list of my previous searches) appears. I don't get the impression that the browser is downloading it on the fly, so when is that being pulled in? Is that included in the application installation, or is it also something the browser is doing on its own? > Krzysztof Lubanski Celejar -- mailmin.sourceforge.net - remote access via secure (OpenPGP) email ssuds.sourceforge.net - A Simple Sudoku Solver and Generator -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
