"foo bar" -> OK
"foo 1.2" -> "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded"

If distinguishing keywords from URLs is too hard, why not require queries to be
prefixed with a question mark?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Seen also on Firefox 1.0PR (Redhat Fedora)
Marking duplicate (see bug 236136).
