Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 135363

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect)

If you enter a string to search for in the address bar but accidently hit enter
(such that mozilla attempts to resolve the string as an address), and then you
put focus back on the address bar (which still contains the string) and down
arrow and choose "Search google for <string>", mozilla treats the string as a
URL and doesn't search.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Setup Google as your search engine of choice
2.  Enter "Monkey Pants" in the address bar and hit enter
3.  See the "The URL is not valid ... " message
4.  Put focus back in address bar
5.  Down arrow to 'Search google for "Monkey Pants"'
6.  Searching does not happen

Actual Results:  
The string entered is used as a URL

Expected Results:  
Search google for "Monkey Pants"

The string used, in this case Monkey Pants, is not important.  However, Pants is
the funniest word in the English language, IMHO, so I chose it.

Please always check a recent build before reporting a bug. This was fixed almsot
two months ago.
