I know it changed but you could do a search and then it had the facility to return
to the old search type but the other day it just changed
wonder if it was when I deleted my cookies

I just prefer the old search one as I can't get around this one at all

Just followed Auntie Em's instructions and realised that my low technology brain had just assumed that I was coming at the search box from a different direction and that is why it looked different --- I don't think I am ever on the same wave length as the people who write the search engines -- what I type in seems perfectly logical to me until I see what they offer as an answer and then ....
