[Steve H]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511

The search button and the search option (drop-down from Location Bar) use two
different sources for information of where to go.

The search button uses browser.search.defaulturl from about:config
The search drop-down option used the selected engine (browser.search.defaultengine)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit browser.search.defaulturl to a url other than your search engine
2. Put a phrase into the Location Bar and click the search button
3. Put a phrase into the Location Bar and choose the search option from the
drop-down menu

Actual Results:  
Search Button and Search Option drop down go to seperate search pages

Expected Results:  
Used the search engine (.src file) for bothe the search button and search drop
down option. The browser.search.defaulturl preference should only be used if
there is no query in the Location Bar.

Can you reproduce this with a recent trunk build?  I can't reproduce the
behavior.  The code is pretty complicated though, so maybe it's reproducible
with different steps(?).

No. This bug seems to have been fixed. Though a blank search is ignoring the default.url setting. Nothing wrong with that but it should be gotton rid of
