IE redirection problem.

[Billy Jacobs]

I am having the following problem.

1. I type in the short name of a url e.g. (microsoft)
2. I press ctrl + enter.
3. http://www.microsoft.com is placed in the address bar.
4. Then for no apparent reason I get redirected to the
following url:
http://find.searchfact.net/apps/eps/eps.cgi?
cid=newn6CPZ&dp_lp=16&dp_p4pid=oingo_inclusion_xml_19&dp_f
ormat=1.3&s=google&nnreq=9d9c97648591e7747912221fe532918e&
prt=NN100

This used to work and take me to the desired page.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Billy Jacobs
