Default address-bar search fails for certain punctuation e.g. periods

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Type "st. andrew's cathedral" into the address bar



Actual Results:  
I get "Invalid Address Error: The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded."

Expected Results:  
Get a Google search results page (or whatever keyword.URL is set to). 


This would decrease the amount of frustration in the world, and it probably
wouldn't take much effort.
