140268 - Non existing url can't be searched for with the auto complete "Search for" function

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 147667

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Henrik Bergström]

Enter a "URL" such as "foogrok" (without http://) and wait for Mozilla to try to
resolve foogrok and www.foogrok.com. After this fails, put the URL bar in focus
with the mouse and press up/down-arrow until the 'Search for "foogrok"'
autocompletion is selected and press enter. Instead of searching for "foogrok"
in Google (in my case), Mozilla again tries to resolve foogrok and www.foogrok.com.

CFM with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-AT; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417

It is impossible to select the "search for 'xyz'" - functiondirectly with mouse
or <up> / <down> keys.

But if you insert "foogrok" and change to another TAB without <ENTER> to URL,
there will be "http://search.netscape.com/search.psp?search=foogrook" or similar
if you cange back to the TAB.
