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

I wish they'd remove the use of backspace as a reverse to previous link. I 
say that because I have many times backspaced over an edit field to delete 
some text, and if I hit the beginning line, I immediately land back on the 
previous page. (Backspace in an edit field does that if you are at the start 
of the edit box.)  This gets really annoying when you have filled out a long 
form and accidently backspace too many times in an edit box.  Anyway, am I 
the only one who does this? It is a pet peeve.
Happy surfing.

I just know that backspacing doesn't seem to work a lot of the time for some
reason, where it used to.  Pam.
