[gui-talk] google has changed and searches are now difficult

[Steve Jacobson]

Be sure that you have not set the option to open up results in a separate window.  This can be handy, but it also means 
the BACKSPACE and ALT LEFT ARROW can't go back.  If you ALT TAB around and find your result as well as the 
original Google screen, then it has opened in a separate window.  You can close it with ALT-F4, though.
