It occurs to me that my comparison might not work because you wouldn't have to enter the URL in safari. Actually, Internet Explorer has a default search option too. If you type words into the address bar, it will do a search instead of treating what you wrote as a URL. But I disabled that feature so long ago I'm not sure how it works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
