Can't figure out browsing

I am so frustrated I can't believe it. I can't figure out how to browse the web on my blackberry storm 2. I can enter a web address just fine. But if I am on a website and type in information, how to I "enter" that information? There is no "go" or "enter" key. I can't believe that it isn't possible, but I can't figure out why I can't figure this out. I read every manual I could find on the verizon site.

So I am clear, today I went to mapquest and typed in an address to map. How do I enter that address so it searches for it? I just couldn't not figure out how. Intuitively, you should be able to just tap the address and it would start the search but that didn't do it.

Please help. I am miles from a Verizon store.

Martha, the device **bleep**.

You have to tap the box/field where you enter the data. It might take a couple of taps. Try also using the cursor arrow icon from the bottom of browser to make it easier to click inside the field. Once you've tapped the field, your keyboard layout screen will appear.

I must not be explaining this quite right. I go to google. I type in a search query. I can do that just fine. Now how do you execute the search? Where is the enter command/key? Tapping on the word "search" doesn't do it.

So, you can navigate to the Google web site on your Storm 2, correct? After you type in the search query in the text box, you tap on box titled "Search" right below the text box to execute your search.

Or, from the keyboard layout there is an icon on with an arrow that points down and to the left. If in Portrait mode, this icon is below the "#" key, in Qwerty keyboard mode, this icon is to the right of the "." key. This arrow key is like the Enter button on your PC keyboard.

Enter key looks just like the one on your computer, "arrow pointing left" lower right side of keyboard.

OK, I am thinking that there is something wrong with my blackberry. I have tapped the search key. I have tapped the "enter" key. Nothing ever happens.

Lucky me, I am miles away from a Verizon store, on a trip.
