1909301 - Selecting a search provider from the Unified Search Button while Search Terms Persist and the search terms remain the same should retain search mode

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect, P2)

Description

[James Teow [:jteow]]

STR:

• Search something and go to the default SERP
• Use the Unified Search Button and select a search provider
• Blur the address bar WITHOUT changing the search terms

Expected result:

• The search mode chiclet should appear with the search terms (aka we should remain in search mode the next time the user focuses the address bar). Persisted search mode should no longer be visible.

Actual result

• The dropdown changes to the selected search provider and the address bar returns to persisted search mode. Selecting the address bar and pressing enter will search the default search provider.
