Description of problem: The Konqueror Web browser has a feature to enter search terms in the location bar and have it submit those terms to a search engine such as Google. The search is not always performed as expected. For instance, if I type "terminal" in the location bar and press enter, I am taken to the Google search results for "terminal". If I type "autoconf", I get an error message saying "Malformed URL". If I type "g:autoconf" (which should also perform a Google search for "autoconf" using the web shortcuts feature), I am taken to a Google search for "g:autoconf" rather than "autoconf". Also, if I type a non-qualified host name (such as bugs) in the location bar, I expect Konqueror to first attempt to connect to <http://bugs> before attempting a search. It does not appear to do so, as it ends up at a Google search page. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1-09 Red Hat How reproducible: Sometimes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a new Konqueror Web browser 2. Enter a word in the location bar and press enter Actual results: Various: sometimes the word is used as a Google search, sometimes an error message appears. Expected results: If the word is a valid local host name, the browser connects to the Web server on that host, otherwise, a Google search is performed on that term. Additional info:
