Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.12-1
Severity: normal

I have two CNAMEs to a single host on my local network, called flics
and tunes. Both can be addressed with just the short name, since the
search domain setup works just fine:

  piper:~|master|% ping -nc1 tunes
  PING vizier.oerlikon.madduck.net (192.168.14.5) 56(84) bytes of data.
  64 bytes from 192.168.14.5: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.372 ms
  piper:~|master|% ping -nc1 flics
  PING vizier.oerlikon.madduck.net (192.168.14.5) 56(84) bytes of data.
  64 bytes from 192.168.14.5: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.362 ms

This works analogously for IPv6.

I also have a directory ~/tunes.

If I tell iceweasel to open 'flics', it will search Google for 'flics'.
If I tell iceweasel to open 'tunes', it will give me a view of ~/tunes.

Both of those are wrong, IMHO. Iceweasel is a browser, *anything*
entered should *first* be resolved and tried. *Then* — if it must
— it can look at ~, and only then should it submit to the search
engine.

I could not find a way to change this. Thus I am reporting this bug.

A workaround is http://flics and http://tunes, but that's seven
characters too many in each case.
