::You know that upper-right box that has a magnifying class on it?:

::It says -Google- on it and I can change it to -Live Search- bu
that’s not consistent with all the other instant search boxes i
like WMP, Explorer, Start Menu, etc. I expect it to do something lik
automatically jump to the phrase I type (within the current page). Bu
it does not. And the best option you have seems to be to select a -Find
-on this Page- pop-up and type in a box and press a Find/Next button
That is so stupid.:

::Is mine broken perhaps because I installed Google Toolbar? Or doe
this not work like the other “Instant Search” boxes.:

::Is there a way to dock a \"real\" instant search box anywhere?:

Cut out using the cutesy emphasis "::" in your posts.

It really screws up those of us using a real newsreader client.

Lines (and the remainder of the paragraph) that begin with your cutesy
"::" are treated as quotes in a newsreader.

Not nice.

Stop it.

Pay no attention to Nonny or anyone else who tries to show force and
