Ctr+F and search bar problem

Post by donaldduck »

Is it just me? Ctr+F only works sometimes.

Putting a search into the search bar page on top (using google) has just been leading me back to my last page that I had open or another page, but not to what I'm searching for. I'm using Google search. And again this is intermittent. It doesn't seem to happen on Firefox.

If nobody else is having this problem it must be my old computer which is getting more and more quirky. Is there a way I can get a dedicated search window up on top instead of the all purpose one?

Found it! The dedicated search box window might fix my problem.

I did that, Dev, but the problems continue - and once again an "update" has made SlimJet worse for me.

I may have to finally abandon Slimjet because of this latest "update" or else once again go back to v.10.

How do I go back to v. 10.01? I did it once but I forgot how I did it.

Back to good old 10.0.1.0 and everything is working again.

I suspect you are using XP PRO, as I am. SlimJet version 11 kind of works, but often stalls out there. I too went back to version 10.

No, I'm using Win 7.
