What were you trying to do?
Trying to go to a web page with just a short name by entering
the name in the location field.
What's wrong:
The search has been changed to somehow look for:
http://web.mit.edu/search.htmlkeyword/xxxxx
where xxxxx is the site I was looking for (e.g. cnn)
What should have happened:
In all other Netscapes (Mac, NT) it will find the web page
without fully qualifying it. This is a major step back. This
used to work just fine on Athena until the recent release.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I could not see any notice of this change.
