I used to be able to type into the address bar of IE6 and when I hit return
it would search for whatever I typed automatically.

This has just stopped working so now if I type

'Does this work'

Into the address bar IE tries to find

http:///? does this work

Anyone had this happen to them and if so how do you fix it.

Thanks in advance for any help
