Works for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7)
Gecko/20040602 Firefox/0.8.0+

can anyone who could reproduce this still reproduce on branch or trunk?

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9

Official 0.9 build for Linux on Debian Sarge has this same problem for me. 
CTRL-K not working, I can type data into search field after mousing to it, but
ENTER doesn't do a search.

New user of Firefox (from Mozilla) - search window is a no-op on 10.3 for me too:

regarding comment 8: I realized that I had 'Find in Page' selected rather than
'Google'.  Now that 'Google' is selected, typing text and hitting return does a
google search.  However, control-K does not work.

[James Lockie]

I read this bug and checked to see if I have 'Find in Page' selected rather than
'Google'.  Now that 'Google' is selected, typing text and hitting return does a
google search but there should be some feedback if 'Find in Page' and nothing is
found (a dialog?).  control-K does not work (is it supposed to?).

wfm with the latest Mac firefox trunk build.

ctrl-k is for Windows. On Mac use command+k to set focus to search.  If you feel
the need, file a bug for no feedback on unsuccessful Find in Page searches.
