Firefox's "I'm Feeling Lucky"
Normally when I want to go to a website, I just type the website into the location bar, and Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" will take me to the first site it finds, which is usually the correct one. I can still search like this for single word names.
ie. I type in gamefaqs or hotmail, and firefox takes me directly to the site My problem is that when I now type in two word names ie. gamingforce forums or ign games, firefox says the url is invalid and will not load Does anyone know how to fix this problem? And yes, my keyword.URL in about:config is set to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&btnI=&q= Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Well for speeds sake, I'd rather just type out the words for websites and then use the history bar once I've been to the site. So does nobody know how to fix it so that firefox recognizes two or more word searches?
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Why would I want to have to select through a list of bookmarks when I can just type in a search? Also say I want to search for a wikipedia entry and type in, wikipedia final fantasy, that would take me directly to the final fantasy entry in wikipedia, which I would not want to bookmark. And no, a + doesn't work.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Wow why do you have to answer based on what you want. I want to reset firefox to what I am used to if that's ok with you galen and I already gave you a good example with wikipedia as to why I would like the multiple word search function. This is the help desk not a place for needless trolling.
Anyways, here's some additional info on my problem. It seems whenever I type in a word, firefox automatically adds a .com to the end of it and takes me to the site. Problem is, some sites are also .org and .net. And it still won't recognize spaces between words and perform the I'm Feeling Lucky function. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

I'm running firefox 2.0, and the search function stopped working this morning. Firefox seems to just add .com at the end of my searches now, instead of using Google's I'm Feeling Lucky
