Why when you type a query on google.com and click on...

* groups and maps => you make a search
* images => get the homepage of image search with the keywords you've entered
* news and froogle => keywords are ignored, you're sent to the service's homepage

?

Errata: when you click on News, Google searches for your keywords.

It's the same with *.google.com/servicename.

Groups seems to also "forget" your search query. But when you already performed a search in one of the services then you can click around and the search stays intact.
