if I seek to find www.budweiser.beer using IE (as most use), I am directed to Microsft's search page...try mcdonalds.bigmac...same result. ford.cars...same result. And here is an interesting one: try delta.faucet and delta.airlines...ok, so I can switch browsers...No, I am not a technologist so I must be stupid...but, in the end, what's the diff for the average user of the browser line? What has ever been the diff here? MSN search simply re-directs "new TLD's" that "do-no-exist" (for its own financial gain)...How is this different to Verisign typo's at the second level? Verisign is more of a monopolist than Microsoft? Someone had better inform the USG...budweiser.beer must be a typo because it is not registered, would be the logic...so, let's just continue to pretend it "does-not-exist" regardless of response to user query from MSN search.

I can, and do, turn of the Internet Exploder "search" function - there's a nice little checkbox labeled "Do not search from the address bar" under Tools | Internet_Options | Advanced. Individual users can set this, and companies that chose to do so can set it as on a bulk basis for their users.
There is no way to turn off Sitefinder.

this topic was about "breach of trademark" and "trademark infringement" in conjunction with the use of domain names, particularly those that "do-not-exist". The query result to the user is identical while understanding that the path from point A to point B functions entirely differently. I will admit that if MSN search did not have something like 80%+ market share, the effect to trademark owners would not be as material...sort of like how .com has 80%+ market share except where the latter is being well protected.
