Why can't I read multiple topics using the search feature?

When ever I use the search feature to find a reference to a keyword, Germans, for example, I get a list of entries. If I select an entry I cannot go back to the list of entries and must start all over again. After one or two attempts I get a notice that I have used up my search opportunities for now.

What gives?

I get the same thing. This forum's search function has never worked properly for me. You can search and select 1 returned item but cannot go back to the search result set. I mentioned it before but no one said there was an issue so I guess that is how it is supposed to work. I simply don't search anymore, its too frustrating.

I use a different browser tab for each line item so I can preserve the master list.

If you're mouse has a scroll wheel, normally you can set that to be "middle button" on click. So that on clicking it over a link,
it will open a new tab. Easier than all this right click menu stuff.

i just use the back button at the top of my web browser to return to the search list after viewing one of the entries.

I try to do that and the page has expired and don't know why. It happens to me if I am on my home machine or at work.

I am using firefox as a web browser. The page expired is odd, but one possibility may be due to a firewall/security program on your computer. I do get that sort of thing on sites like paypal or similar where there are secure pages.

That is a good point. Both my home computer and work computer are pretty tight. I might look the settings.
