I was going to Tweet this, but then I’ve not had a blog post up for a while.
Lets say I do a Google Search, finding the directions between Witton Albion to Northwich Victoria. I click search and this gets brought up.
Useful, but not exactly what I want. Instead I want Google Maps. And I click on the link highlighted in the green arrow. This what happens:-
The query disappears!
I can’t be the only one who does this, am I? I know you can click on the links down the side, but surely it’ll be more useful preserving the queries between the links on the top of the page.
Anybody? Or just me?
Not Just you pal, fricking annoys the crap out of me!!!!!!!!
Totally agree Rhys, it bugs me too. Oddly enough, we blogged about the exact same thing! http://theeword.blogspot.com/2011/11/google-search-changes-bug-or-experiment.html
I find this is a problem with image searches. I punch my query into the omnibox, then click “images” to do a specific image search. But it blitz’s my query. I swear it didn’t use to work this way. I’m sure I used to do this in the past and it worked no problems at all.
