RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1672509

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0

Steps to reproduce:

Type a search keyword + a single word query into the address bar, e.g. w snafu where w is set as the keyword for the Wikipedia search engine in about:preferences#search

Actual results:

The keyword (w) is first resolved to the search engine, showing the engine's name (Wikipedia (en)) in a "tag" and the placeholder text changes to Enter search terms. Then typing a term and hitting return performs the search as expected. That's a great improvement but then the Did you mean to go to http://<search term>/? prompt bar appears atop the page.

Expected results:

The single word Did you mean bar should not show for dedicated searches where two words were typed into the address bar.
