Anytime a Navigator 6 user performs a search by typing terms into the browser’s URL bar and pressing the Search button. . . the user data is sent to a server at info.netscape.com using a URL forwarding system.
[In contrast] using Microsoft Explorer 6 data is sent directly to the designated search site and is not intercepted by Microsoft.
