simple user question - someone please reply!
Hello TOR community members,
this question might seem stupid to you, but it is essential for TOR 
usage, and with my knowledge as a user-only, I couldn't answer it with 
the TOR documentation/FAQ.
Why is it that when I enter a non-existant URL in Firefox/TOR (e.g. 
http://www.krachunddonner.de/ ), I receive a screen 
(http://alicesuche-de.aol.de/suche/alice_afe_landing.jsp?invocationType=500error_alice&q=www.krachunddonner.de/) 
from MY internet provider saying the requested site couldn't be found 
AND containing the requested URL in a search field?
This means that whether I'm using TOR or not, my provider always knows 
the URLs of the sites I access (or try to access), right?
TORs "exit node" is a step in front of my provider, so my provider can 
log which sites I access, and, in case I don't use encrypted 
connections, even all content I access. And he knows WHO's accessing it. 
Correct?
How else can it be that I receive that screen containing the URL I tried 
to access?
Please answer or tell where I can find an answer I can understand 
without a lot of technical knowledge.
Thank you!!
Pat
