137905 - Search feature improvement

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Search, enhancement)

Description

[Boris Bukh]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
BuildID:    2002031104



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter anything you want to find in the edit window at the top of window
2. Press "Enter"


Actual Results:  Page not found

Expected Results:  To run a searchengine, and see result of search.

Typing what you want to find, and then grabbing mouse to click on "Search"
button (you also cannot use Tab to navigate to "Search" button) is very awkward.
It would be great if I could type what I want to find and press "Enter".

It is very easy to distinguish URL from a search (protocols, slashes, dots,
typical words like "www", "com", "org" and so forth).

type the word you want to search, press the up arrow and then enter.

Comment 2

[Pete Boyd]

and Mozilla also does do a search when used in the way reported, but it depends
on how you've configured:
Preferences -> Navigator -> Internet Search
and
Preferences -> Navigator -> Smart Browsing -> Advanced

Comment 3

[Adam Hauner]

This bug should be resolved as WORKSFORME (or as DUPLICATE of original bug)
because, bug report is not INVALID, it is just not actual.

Boris: Thanks for your help in testing Mozilla and reporting bugs.
