RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 168019

People

Details

1) Set Google as your default search engine (maybe this happens with other
searches, I dunno)
2) type in a multiple-word search string into the title bar, like "godel escher
bach".  Mozilla brings up a bar below for "search google for...", but you ignore
that, hit Enter.
3) Mozilla shows a popup with "the URL is not valid and cannot be loaded".  This
is correct, hit enter.
3) Hit Ctrl-L to select the URL text field, hit down twice, and the 'Search
Google for "godel escher bach"' should be highlighted.  Hit Enter.  
4) Mozilla shows the "the URL cannot be loaded..." popup again.  This is not
good, it should have searched Google for those terms, since that's what I asked for.

Also worth noting is that if, in step 3, you deleted the final "h" in "bach" and
re-typed it, all is well and Mozilla sends the string to Google for searching,
which is what I've taken to using as a workaround.

This is with 1.2a
