I can also confirm this bug -- since my last upgrade I've been running into it every 5 minutes :-(.
To be clear: it used to be that if I typed "foo bar" (i.e., a string with a space in it) into the url bar and pressed enter, then epiphany went to the google search page for "foo bar". Alternatively, I could type "foo bar", and then use down-arrow to choose "Search the web" and press enter, and that would also send me to a google results page. Now, I can still use down-arrow to choose "Search the web", and that works the same as it used to, but if I simply hit enter on the address bar, then I get a modal popup saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.", and (adding injury to insult) the address bar gets cleared so I have to retype my query. In my about:config I have: keyword.URL = http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q= keyword.enabled = true So it's not that that's disabled. Oddly, my memory is that if I typed "foo bar" and hit enter, what actually happened is that it went via a magic url like "keyword:foo bar". But now, if I type "keyword:foo bar" in the url line explicitly, then I get a popup error "keyword is not a registered protocol". In my use, I tend to do many more searches than actual typing of URLs, and this bug dramatically impacts Epiphany's usability. If I'm typical, then this bug's severity would more properly be "important". -- Nathaniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
