Huh?

In IE, I am seeing no cursor until I place the mouse arrow in the
central search box and click it. This is different to some other
browsers like Firefox and Safari and Google where it is right
there and blinking, beckoning, begging you to search for
something. In IE, which cannot stand such desperate pleas for
text, the user needs to click in the box first.

I don't think anyone here realises that different browsers have
personalities, moral characteristics. They get together and talk
just like us you know. You heard the expression, "browser wars"?
Well, the fight was really just among humans, the real truth
behind it all is that the browsers themselves got along fine,
they loved their differences, they loved their sameness, they
loved each other. They are all, underneath, loveable creatures.
So IE has been a bit crazy? So what? The other browsers have
taken this giant in and smoothed and controlled some of its manic
excesses.

PS. I cannot actually get google.com, it always goes to google
..com.au/ I tried blowing the keyboard and mouse up the moment I
forward slashed the com but no matter, when the smoke cleared,
the .au had been attached. Dogged thing our oz appendix!
