I know that I can use something like "google term", where it would
search for term using google.  But if I just type google, it shouldn't
do that, and specially not search for "%s".

That is totally weird. I can't imagine why it's doing that, and it
only seems to be when google is used, other terms I tried didn't
exhibit that behavior.

This will be caused by having a bookmark with url http://www.google.com/search?q=%s and keyword of "google", which allows for quick searching from the address bar using "google <searchterm>". At some point these quick search bookmarks were included as standard (I'm not sure they still are). Try "wp" and you'll probably see a similar effect (a wikipedia search).

The way to fix this is to remove the offending bookmarks, but if they are still in the package please don't remove them, they are really handy. In fact if you could add in an imdb one that would nice.

I guess you could include some logic that says if a person enters a keyword for a bookmark that has a %s insert in it but doesn't supply a second string then ignore it, but it's not really worth it.

Richard.
