Description

[stephan tual]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

URL bar will not try to 'search using google'-  even if selected - IF AND ONLY
IF the 'enter key' was pressed before (sounds complicated but see reproduction
steps below - it's easy)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Easy peasy to reproduce:
1. open mozila
2. type in 'test blah' in the URL bar
3. press enter
4. the message 'the url is not valid and cannot be loaded' pops up (normal)
5. now - WITHOUT EDITING ANYTHING IN THE URL BAR - highlight it, press the
'down' key
6. go down until 'search goodle for "test blah"' is highlighted
7. selected and ...tada! 'the url is not valid and cannot be loaded' message
pops up. (NOT NORMAL)
8. now go and delete the 'h' in 'blah'. 
9. go down until 'search goodle for "test bla"' is highlighted
10. select it.. it works ok (because it was edited)

Actual Results:  
decribed above

Expected Results:  
well it should have search for 'test blah' as it would if i didn't try to load
that string as a URL first

Typing 'test blah' directly in the url and DIRECTLY pressing down and selecting
'search goodle for "test bla"' WILL WORK.
This bug only appear if one tries to press enter in the URL bar first , get the
error message, and try again to 'search goodle for "(string)"'
