    I've had a recent bad experience with Google/...

    No you haven't, your browser has done what you have got it set to do.

    To customize or disable Address bar searches, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Internet Options.
    2. On the Advanced tab, under Search from the Address bar, click the search option you want, and then click OK.
    The following AutoSearch and AutoScan options are available in Internet Explorer 5:
    • Display results, and go to the most likely site
    • Do not search from the Address bar
    • Just display the results in the main window
    • Just go to the most likely site

    with any web browser you should never se address bar searching, use the search bar(logical is it not?)

    unless of course you use google chrome in which case the omnibar is the place to search :T
    Back by no demand whatsoever.
