Hello, Lindsay --

I am still running Jaunty (9.04) under KDE 4.2.2 -- and Konqueror 4.2.2.  
Dave Para and his wife (Cathy Barton-Para) are among my friends who are 
folk musicians.  Their actual web-site is http://www.bartonpara.com, and 
I check it frequently.  Just now, I decided to test your problem by 
trying to go to http://www.bardonpada.com.  The result was NO reference 
or pointing to Google; nothing "smart", etc.  Instead, I saw that "The 
requested operation could not be completed  Unknown host ..."  I gather 
that this is the kind of result that you want.  Perhaps KDE 4.3 is 
"smarter" -- or some other issue may be in play.  "Go figure!"
