Win98 build 2002031503: 1. Enter a spaced, invalid custom query into the URL bar. Try 'foo bar'. 2. Hit enter. Since I sometimes forget the custom keywords I have set up, occasionally, I'll enter an invalid one (foo). It is clear that 'foo bar' is not a domain because of the space. Actual results: The browser tries to resolve www.foo bar.com and fails. Expected results: The browser should not try to resolve a spaced name. An error should be given, suggesting either removing the space and extra parameter, or directing the user to supply the name of a defined custom keyword.
This looks related to Bug 34943 and Bug 115539
And it's also very similar to Bug 132219
I suggest that the search engine is called automatically when typing in some spaced words.

Summary: www.<input>.com completion is too aggressive → Domain guessing (www.<input>.com) completion is too aggressive
Summary: Domain guessing (www.<input>.com) completion is too aggressive → Domain guessing (www.<input>.com completion) is too aggressive
This is probably a depends on bug 140379, because the real problem is that we sent all manners of junk to the resolver... Docshell does domain completion of "foo bar" after we already asked to connect to "foo bar".
Summary: Domain guessing (www.<input>.com completion) is too aggressive → Typing text with space into address bar should search, not guess "www.foo bar.com"
RESOLVED/WFM: Mozilla 1.1beta, allplats Type in: "foo bar" w/ Internet Keywords off, and you get: "The URL is invalid and cannot be loaded." I don't know what bug has the code change that fixes this.
