Hi to all,
a few weeks ago Google (Australia) changed how their site operates -
unlike previously, one can now ONLY select between " the web " or "
pages from Australia " when using the original home page.
After you hit the search button, that option becomes inactive, though still
visible.
You have to return to the original page to make the selection.
How damn annoying.
Why the change ?
....... Phil

I'm on FF, and it seems to be working OK for me also.

Re: What are Google Thinking ?
I am using Xp Pro and version IE Version 7.0.5730.11IS and it is
working fine for me. I wonder if it is an IE& setting that is
different or perhaps your anti-virus software.

I just had a play around with my V7 IE, and I have the same problem.
Phil, perhaps you should consider FireFox anyway. It has many advantages
over IE, including script blocking, which works a treat, and fully and
easily controllable by the user.
Current v2 is only around 6Mb

see:

for a run down on noscript.
Give FF about 2 hours, and it will grow on you, and you will wonder why
you ever put up with IE.
and have a look at the sort of thing you can add to the integrated
google search bar:

Re: What are Google Thinking ?

It's probably a bug in Internet Exploder. Remember that Microsoft Windows
itself is one constantly growing virus program, so you'd expect IE, being
a central part of that exploitation plan, to introduce 'bugs' that make
you use features of the web in particular ways.
