all the interactions between your web browser and the internet), which
means that if the web server redirects you to another site, Sloppy is
cut out of the loop. I wonder if this is what's happening for you...
google.com into Sloppy, I briefly see http://127.0.0.1:7596 and then
the page is refreshed with http://www.google.co.uk (presumably because
I'm in the UK). If I then modify the URL in sloppy to be http://google.co.uk
the same thing happens. But if I change it to be exactly http://www.google.co.uk/
(including the end /) then it stays with Sloppy and I can search and
see slow results coming back.
need to be even more specific and enter http://uk.yahoo.com/?p=us --
but the exact value may vary for you depending on where you are.
