I thought it was just an oddity of my particular set up, but I’ve heard from a reader that he’s having the same problem:

If you do the ^F search thing on this very page as viewed in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Explorer will terminally hang and you’ll have to Ctl-Alt-Del your way out of it.

But, wait, it’s weirder than that! Search for a word that’s visible and near the top, and it’ll work. For example, if you’re reading this in the main blog, not in an archive, try searching for “LCD”. Should be fine. Now try searching for “Scotty,” which is toward the bottom. Hang city.

Happening to you, too? Is IE a total piece of shite or what? (Yes, I do use FirePlace or FireMe or FireStone, or whatever the hell the new Mozilla build is called these days.)
