I'm behind a proxy at work, and Google Chrome insists on downloading Google search results pages instead of displaying them.

Whether I try to search from the address bar, from google.com, or from a third-party site that has a Google search form, what ends up happening is that the search results page ends up as a downloaded file called "search" in my downloads directory.

I haven't seen this happen with any other search pages. Yahoo! Search, for example, works fine.

Has anyone run into this before and/or has any ideas on how to fix it or what might be causing it?

I'd try the Chrome support pages, but they're blocked by the proxy...
