459399 - entered terms at google.com aren't autocompleted

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

seen with 3.1b1 builds and 3.0.3 builds all platforms

STR:

1. visit http://www.google.com
2. in the web page search field type "mozillazine" <enter>
3. go back to http://www.google.com and begin typing "mozil"

expected results:
mozillazine should appear above a line above the google suggestions

to see how it should look try the same test case in the google search toolbar.

Tested results:
the enter mozillazine is not offered in the auto-complete list, only google suggestions.

note: this works on 2.0.0.x, but we don't support suggests at google.com in 2.0.0.x

also note that form auto-complete works correctly in fields where there are no suggestions. Like in Google's results page search field.

Comment 2

[Simon Bünzli]

This sounds like an INVALID bug, as Google explicitly disables form autocompletion on that field (search the source for autocomplete="off").

Comment 3

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

We now respect autocomplete=off on purpose.

Comment 4

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

ok, I'll update our test cases in litmus.
