shouldn't you file your search term in the URL Bar, hit the DOWN key or use the
mouse to select the search entry an press enter ?

... or using the TAB key. This is _not_ a bug!

I'm not so sure about that. It used to work in previous releases. BTW: guessing
an URL based on separate words is conceptually wrong.

Comment 4

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Ah, you mean the "internet keywords" (Edit\preferences\Smart browsing\)

confirming with win2k build 200202009 that "internet keywords" are dead.

Is this the same as bookmark keywords?  I.e. Bookmarks -> Edit Bookmarks...
File -> Properties, then the Keyword field?  These don't seem to work for me.

>Is this the same as bookmark keywords
No, that's another bug (Component Bookmarks)

Comment 7

[Bas Cancrinus]

After reading comment#4 I deny my previous statements: this is not a bug.
Preferences/Smart Browsing/Enable Internet Keywords was unchecked. I checked it
and everything works fine now.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
