440087 - Keyword Search / %s substitution not working in FF3

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[John Eisenschmidt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Safari/525.20
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061004 Firefox/3.0

URL shortcuts, created either by hand or with 'Keyword Search' do not get parsed in the location bar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1)Browse to ebay (or Google or wherever), right click in search box, create a new keyword search, find the bookmark and see that it has %s in the URL, then try to use it in the location bar and it does not get parsed

2) Example with existing:

http://finance.google.com/finance?q=%s

This shortcut is called 'finance', so in the location bar I type 'finance appl' and Apple's Google Finance stock page should come up. In 2.0.0.14 it does, in 3.0 it does not.
Actual Results:  
A google search, or the wrong web page is loaded


Annoying. This feature is the only reason I don't use Safari. Reverting to 2.0.0.14 until it's fixed.
