Weird. I'm using IceWeasel too, version 3.0.4. I tried installing and
using SwitchProxy (1.4.1). But it still doesn't work. If I type e.g.
"cornflakes" into the addressbar while using my polipo proxy, I get a
504. If I disable the proxy, I get the expected automatic search and
it shows the Wikipedia page for cornflakes.
