Gotta be more careful and check if we're doing the "server-push" hack when
generating an error message.

Terry...

I have no idea what you meant in your comment about this bug. Could you please 
elaborate? Thanks.

So, if you are running IE, and you do a query for a keyword, and you type in a
non-existant keyword, then it incorrectly emits the error message.  This is
because the code is designed to work in server-push mode, and disgustingly
hacked to work in non-server-push mode (which is the only thing IE supports).

server-push is the stuff that lets it display "Please stand by..." while working
on the request.

pushing the priority down.
i'm using IE 5.0, and I don't get this error, so I'm guessing MSFT fixed this at 
some point.

i can't get this to happen with IE4 either. i am deciding to not care about IE3.

We all should be using Mozilla by now. Marking as verified.
