+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1490428 +++

Bug 1490428 is back :-(

Steps to reproduce:

type start of an email address in the search bar. I get some suggestions that include the full email address I am searching for. I use the arrow keys to move down to the suggested email address I want (it is now highlighted in a blue). I press the ENTER key to select the suggested email address and the search results window pops up but it only searches for the partial email that I had typed in the box. iT does not search for the full email address that was highlighted blue. If I click my mouse cursor on the suggested name it will search for the full email address.

Actual results:

search results tab shows search for the partial email address that i had started typing in the box before the suggestion were listed.

Expected results:

it should have searched for the full email address that was highlighted in blue when I pressed enter key.

Or in other words:
Type something into the Gloda search box. Compare selecting an auto-complete result selected via mouse click with one selected via arrow navigation and enter. They should be the same, but aren't.

Alice, once again, can you please find the regression for us.
