I agree with Matt. Unless it was really really really important to the customer how the thing was submitted I wouldn't try to automate the pressing of the enter button in the browser. I would more or less just say what I was doing rather than how I was doing it. I might end up with: Given I'm a logged in user at the home page And there is someone called 'Bob Smith' to earch for When I do a quick search for 'Bob Smith' Then I should see that 'Bob Smith' is found in the search results If you're wondering how you submit the quick search (since it has no button) then here's a suggestion that Ben Mabey gave me back in September: use <noscript> tags to have a button on the page that Webrat can submit, but that the browser won't render.
