Maybe I wasn't clear in my report. I was trying to type the word 'birds' but it opened bank of america before I could type any more and refreshed without the search bar. Effectively, I couldn't search for any word starting with a b after that because it would load instantly.

Hi runaway. It took me a while to figure this out but i manage to bypass frame busters. Please have a look again. Bank of America is one of the few exceptions where you won't be able to browse it directly (and that's good because a banking website is supposed to be secure! Although there is no bad intent with psykomatic this technic is sometimes used for spoofing! So thumbs up to them) but you can still click on the thumbnail to browse the page and it won't break the search to 'birds' anymore ;-)
oh i see! That's rather unfortunate. Some websites steal the keyboard focus or have iframe buster that swallow the whole page.

I didn't find an elegant solution in order to avoid this yet. In the meantime, please consider the site as a proof of concept and try with an other letter ;-)
