I enter an item to search in the keyword space. The search engine does a search and comes up with a list of possibilities. I click on the item that I want AND I am redirected to some type of directory, be it yellow pages or others. If I hit the "back" arrow and click on the same item a second time, it usually gets me to the site that I am looking for.
