309378 - Searching from the location bar uses I'm feeling lucky

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 233541

(Firefox :: Search, enhancement)

Description

[Josh Lee]

User-Agent:       Opera/8.5 (X11; Linux i686; U; en)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

Consider these use cases:
- the web site is down
- a user, expecting to be able to *search*, types "g search terms" into the 
location bar

Try it out—type the following into the location bar:
- "localhost", when there is no web server on localhost.
- "g firefox"

Are the results what you expected? I thought not. Making the location bar *not* 
use "I'm feeling lucky" search, by default, would reduce the amount of surprise 
when things like this happen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
I'm feeling lucky

Expected Results:  
Normal search

In about:config, set keyword.enabled=false to turn it off.
