No idea about Safari but in Firefox you can disable this misfeature with: about:config keyword.enabled = false > I'm of the school where if I type into a search box I expect it to search, > and if I type in a url box I expect it to be treated as a url - and the > two boxes are different things and should be separate. The search box is a waste of screen real estate. Make a bookmark with: Location: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s Keyword: g then, typing into the URL bar "g goat porn" will search for "goat porn" on Google. Then you have: Location: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s Keyword: wp Location: https://packages.qa.debian.org/%s Keyword: pts Location: https://bugs.debian.org/%s Keyword: bts ... and so on. A really useful feature. Typing instead of clicking as you have to put your hands on the keyboard to type the search phrase anyway. -- A tit a day keeps the vet away. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
