Title:
Wishlist: add "use input as a search term" to "address not found" page
Status in Mozilla Firefox:
In Progress
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Altogether too often when I get the "Address Not Found" page, it is
because I expected too much from the Wonderful Bar or whatever it's
called. It would be a useful addition if the "Address Not Found" page
could offer the option to use the stuff you typed into the location
bar as input for your designated search engine, and/or perform history
search on those terms. (For me, the former is the more useful, but I
expect both would be handy, and the effort to offer both is probably
marginal if you decide to do one or the other.)
All to often, what you typed in is no longer visible in the location
bar, because http:// gets prepended and sometimes a .com appended to
what is displayed in the location bar at the point you get the
"Address Not Found" error.
