'Try Again' takes ages for me so I give up and start the search again! It's quicker 
I don't understand why Try Again would take longer than repeating - surely Try Again just repeats the request. It should take the same time or less cos of not having to repeat the typing

Well it might not take longer it's me that gets fed up of waiting! I'm on Smallworld's broadband, I don't know how it compares for speed (Smallworld who? lovely little company covering southern Scotland and northwest England - about to be taken over by Virgin)
On the positive, Ctrl-Shift-r had no effect for me but clearing the Cache (via the Clear Recent History option) seems to have worked. I can now return to the search list.
Alanmack's answer is interesting, I didn't know I could click the mouse wheel - mine does something different (displays all open items in miniature, arranged on the screen)
Also I found that right-clicking on FreeBMD links doesn't offer you the 'new tab' option. You can 'copy link location' but that seems more longwinded
Thank you all!
