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

I know. People keep saying so finally now that I asked enough damn times. 
And I tried it out, and it worked for me. I don't know what the problem 
about this is,; sometimes I'm not able to back out of a Web page to the one 
just before, but there's usually some reason I can figure out or, if not, I 
might resort to shutting down the browser if that's what happens when I fee 
forced to Alt F4 or Control W out of there, relaunch IE, open my history 
file, find the sites and pages I wished I could have returned to more 
easily, and go there. it's not tragic, and because I generally have several 
apps running at once, I don't immediately relate to the idea that I get put 
back onto my desktop, but I get it. If all that's been running is the 
browser and you exit it, of course you wind up on the desktop. I figured it 
out.

Bakspace will often work as a go back key like alt left arrow.

If we're talking about navigating between Web pages in a browser like
Internet Explorer, I confess I don't have any idea what back spacing has to
do with it. Do the people who say this actually mean the Go Back command
made by pressing Alt Back Arrow? If so, that's different. But people are
saying "back space."

Thanks for explaining.

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