I agree that this is an important bug that should be fixed in Edgy. The fix will be included in Epiphany 2.16.2, but it's easy to add the patch to the current package, so I hope Edgy will get the patch sooner rather than later. I've already rebuilt my Epiphany with it, so if others want to do the same:
sudo apt-get build-dep epiphany-browser apt-get source epiphany-browser cd epiphany-browser-2.16.1/debian/patches wget http://librarian.launchpad.net/4938616/09_get_keyword_search_back.patch cd ../.. dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot sudo dpkg -i ../epiphany-browser*.deb -- Automatic search from address entry doesn't work anymore https://launchpad.net/bugs/56610 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
