Not liking google's new "privacy" policy, I've changed my default to use startpage. Works fine if I use the side search bar, but if I enter a search in the address bar and press either enter or alt-tab, it takes me to startpage but does not carry the search criteria with it. Painful! as I'm slow typist and detailed in search. Works fine in Chrome, but prefer to migrate away from that since it's google too. Please fix!
