  7. search window upgrade

    I am suggesting to your Technicians to return the search window as it was before you upgraded AOL SEARCH. It was much easier to do a google search when looking for a particular subject. THE SEARCH BUTTON IN THE ADDRESS BAR IS TOO SMALL.

  8. Please add a search bar for finding folders

    It is difficult to search for a specific folder and it would be useful to have a search bar for this.

  11. This change in search assist is TERRIBLE. You must type very slowly to get search to do what you want. DUMB DUMB Have to go to Google

    Remove the search assist or change AOL GOLD back to what it was. This was a very bad idea for many users of AOL. I will change to Google until repaired or changed,

  13. Allow e-mails to scroll without clicking

    When I open an e-mail, the scroll wheel of my mouse does not function until I click in the body of the e-mail. The Web version of AOL mail allows scrolling without any further action.

    Please place the focus in e-mails upon opening so they can be scrolled with the scroll wheel.

  14. Search boxes

    I found a tiny little red box upper right corner that says 'Search".. I used that and what I search for works.. Why is this big search box on the opening page? No need for it as it won't work.

  20. When History is turned OFF, it should stay OFF and not turn ON the next time I log in.

    Search History is not working correctly. I've turned it to the OFF position but then next time I log in and do a search, it's in the ON position. I've mentioned this before but always receive the same response. I've been with AOL since 2001 and have never had this problem. Please look into it...Thanks
