I see no search field on that page

While I also see no search field on that page, I have experienced the same
problem.  It happens on some sites, but not on others.

Here's a site you can try, though:
http://www.tek-tips.com/

The member login area on the left does not work with the Enter key, while the
Search field does.

Netscape 4 only allows Enter if there is only one text box, but Mozilla
previously allowed it no matter how many text boxes there were.

On the other hand,
https://mit.imoat.net/stdnt/StudentLogin.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fstdnt%2fStudentHome.aspx
works with the Enter key (in Mozilla), even though it has two text boxes.

Dup of bug 150232: enter doesn't submit a form that uses <input type="image">
(an image submit button) and has more than one text field.

My mistake. When entering the URL I mentioned you get a menu first. Then click
on 8. Kirchenbuecher, then the search field appears.
