Steps to reproduce: 1. go to the mozilla homepage 2. type 'm' 'o' 'z' The first link containing 'mozilla' is selected by typeahead find 3. type 'z' the statusbar now says 'Could not find link: "mozz"' 4. type 'i' It would be nice if typeahead search after step 3 dropped the character that caused the search to fail, so that i wouldn't have to delete it myself but could continue to search immideatly. Since the UI gives me an errorfeedback when pressing the second 'z' (by playing the 'errorsound') it should also ignore the keypress. Expected behaviour: in step 4 typeahead should search for 'mozi' and highlight the appropriate link Actual behaviour: in step 4 typeahead searches for 'mozzi' and fails (yes, i'm well aware the some people might want the current behaviour, but i thought i should at least raise the discussion :) )

I think it's better to add the character so that hitting backspace doesn't do something unexpected. I often hit backspace in normal typing without thinking and without looking at the screen because I can tell when my fingers have gotten ahead of me.

I have a fix for this in bug 167921 that has the best of both worlds. It makes backspace clear the incorrect key after it's typed, but also lets a new good character also clear the bad char, as it does now.

Changing summary, to reflect my plans to fix the problem posed by this bug.
Summary: don't add character to searchstring if no hit in typeahead find → [typeaheadfind] backspace after bad character should erase that character
