The reason why I requested this was long resolving time for searches without dots, but if this is going to be fixed, separate pref is not needed. > I don't think extensions should be necessary, you can file an enhancement bug for whitelisting suffixes and we can eval that. I created bug 1634650. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263505 Title: Wishlist: add "use input as a search term" to "address not found" page Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released 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.
