bug 721640 removed some on-load fetching of entries. What happens when you search (e.g, 'network')?

Sorry, I missed bug 721640.
Search works correctly, but there is no preference entries without a search text.

I think that we may need to add the guide text on about:config, like "Please enter a preference name".

Should I file the other bug about it?

I see. I changed the title.

Probably good to close ... Superceded by the new about:config ...
