I also relied on IE to search.  When I tried to search using AOL today the problem had mysteriously disappeared.  Must have been something on their end. I have used AOL for over 12 years and have found it occasionally difficult, but for the most part it has served me well enough. I would change but old habits die hard! James    Report

Were you getting the %20 stuff everywhere? The fault was there first thing yesterday morning but had gone when I checked the machine later, probably lunch-time. So AOL.fr duff then!..............................................JR    Report

JohnRoss,   Yes, I was getting the %20 business everytime I tried to search for anything other than my favorites items. It did start, however, nearly a week ago.  Glad they got it sorted.

I would change but old habits die hard! Hardly a glowing recommendation and I wonder how many feel the same. AOL is a dinosaur which sat on it's outdated model for far far to long and is too far behind now to catch up, or maybe even survive in the long term as I doubt they are winning many new customers. Ironically, whether they realised it or not, the ditching of dial up was a hugely damaging move because it signalled the end of the international service by means of which you could dial up from most major countries in the world and at a stroke that removed what was virtually their one unique selling point and the sole reason some were with them in the first place. I personally know 3 people who relied on that when travelling between UK, US, France, and other countries, and abandoned it as a result.
