I type what I am looking for - item comes up - I read it - when I go back instead of going onto another listing on the same topic - it goes back to blank Google and I have to type it again. A bit annoying.
Actually, I see what you mean now. It should revert to the previous page containing the list of threads. Can't help, I'm afraid, unless it is perhaps you are ho;ding down the back arrow key for too long so that it jumps back 2 pages instead of 1.
that happens to me a lot, and it's very annoying. If you click on the refresh key (or F5) while on the blank page it should bring up your search query page again.
Whilst waiting for your reply to methyl, I am going to suggest that it could well be a Google Search Engine problem. Perhaps another Search Engine would put matters right.
