Google

[jennyjoan]

Every single time I look up something on Google.

I type what I am looking for - item comes up - I read it - when I go back instead of going onto another listing on the same topic - it goes back to blank Google and I have to type it again. A bit annoying.

Obviously. If you click on the back arrow it reverts to the previous (blank Google) page.

[jennyjoan]

Well some how or other Blacky - I never noticed this before and I am googling years now.

[jennyjoan]

I definitely was always able to get back to another topic.

[Quoi]

Same happens here but I press f5 and the page refreshes without retyping.

[BlackadderV]

Actually, I see what you mean now. It should revert to the previous page containing the list of threads. Can't help, I'm afraid, unless it is perhaps you are ho;ding down the back arrow key for too long so that it jumps back 2 pages instead of 1.

[jennyjoan]

ok quoi will try that.

[jennyjoan]

no matter what I try - still going back to blank google.

[ummmm]

Close all pages and start the internet again.

[jennyjoan]

Ummmm - it has been going on all this week and maybe last.

[BlackadderV]

I think Methyl's got it! Have just experimented and a single click takes you back one page whilst a double click takes you back two.

[jno]

that happens to me a lot, and it's very annoying. If you click on the refresh key (or F5) while on the blank page it should bring up your search query page again.

[BlackadderV]

...or as jno says. Either single click or refresh.

[jno]

it happens even when you single-click, Blackadder, no idea why. But refreshing has always solved it for me.

[jennyjoan]

only got back - single click doesn't work either.

[jennyjoan]

f5 is good - saves you from typing over and over.

Thanks all

Whilst waiting for your reply to methyl, I am going to suggest that it could well be a Google Search Engine problem. Perhaps another Search Engine would put matters right.

Hans.

[jennyjoan]

Methyl and Hans - the f5 will do.

but thanks anyway
