I think your bug has a bug.

It was broke, so I fixed it.

your spaces aren't right, please have them re-calibrated. :)

I get the error on my machine but it works fine on other machines... :doh:

Are you being sarcastic, or is that actually happening? I edited the original post to show that I did indeed try on multiple PC's (Office setup) and found the error at home (Tested at work to make sure it wasn't just my PC)

I'm using IE8 on Win7 and it broke for me as well. "ASP " (type ASP with a trailing space) breaks bing. "ASP" without the trailing space works fine. Anything else with a trailing space seems to work fine. In fact, it breaks for all of us in our office (we're all running Win7/IE8). I compensated for the tool that 1-voted you.

Using IE 7, 8 and 9, on XP and 7, and it works fine on all of them.

Works fine for me: Chrome 11

So when I Google for "Bing".. why does it not say "Did you mean Google" I wish the search king would come and take Bing away... RIGHT NOW!!!

IE8 on what OS? The only other option could be that someone in M$ has decided that after ASP, you don't need to anything else... :-D

Works for me!

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

Is Bing bothering you that much? Is there some puppeteer controlling you and forcing you to use it? And who is this mythical Search King you speak of?

Yep, that is Bing in a nutshell

As my message indicates, "IE8 on Win7"... I emphasized the text that you evidently missed the first time you read it.

Who knows? Maybe we all have strings that lead somewhere
