can't press back to return to search results in chrome

[fizzgig]

i'm using an up-to-date version of google canary and if i follow a link from a search page, the back button (both in the browser and the backspace key) will take me to the page i was viewing before i googled whatever. even holding down the back button does not bring it up in the list of pages that drop down.

it works fine otherwise and i'm wondering if i may have accidentally goobered something. i googled it a bit, but couldn't find anything.

thanks in advance.

1. if you type this in chrome

is there any History listed?

chrome://chrome/history/

Sorry misread your post

3. i just did a test search

and it does show up in the history.

2. are you running Norton

Mcafee or any other product that installs a local proxy server to catch threats? Chrome may be getting confused by the way the proxy server is performing redirection.

Try disabling any AntiVirus or Security monitors and try again. If you do not have the same issue, contact the maker of the installed software, or look for an update.

5. i disabled norton and nothing changed

i'm assuming it's up-to-date because it's always updating. i did, however, test chrome and it worked there, the issue seems to be isolated to the canary version.

4. Sounds like chrome has a history of this problem

7. i saw a lot about the back button getting 'stuck'

and not going back at all. i'm going to see if the google help forum is more helpful than the last time i used it

6. IIRC canary is in developer stage

and so (1) comes with no guarantees and (2) can change daily

You might try downloading the next version of canary, when it comes out, to see if it works better

8. it is in developer stage

i switched to it sometime ago due to a conflict between a norton component and chrome, so i'm just going to go back to chrome and hope it's resolved.

10. Try clicking and holding the back button in the browser window.

That will bring up your recent history in a little popup.

12. that is the first thing i tried

initially it did not even show the search, now it just refreshes the page i'm on. i have to go into the history from the control panel to get to the seach page

11. Happens to me with chrome on my android tablet

But only when I search in the browser's "address bar". After searching, then going to one of the pages, hitting "back" seems to take me back 2 pages, and not to the search results page.

Problem does not seem to happen when I search within a window of a google page.

Don't understand this behavior, and it's annoying.

13. it is annoying

not the end of the world, but damn aggravating
