Epiphany search from address bar - change behaviour

In Epiphany in my Arch install, typing in the address bar and hitting enter will bring me to the google search page for that term.

I've been trying out a Debian install and instead of the above behaviour, epiphany tries to resolve this as a URL.

My entire epiphany configuration folder was copied over from the Arch install, so it's presumably caused by a configuration setting that's kept elsewhere.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks.

I don't remember seeing a config option for it.

I did notice though, that if there was certain punctuation in your search string, epiphany tries to resolve it as an url. Could that be what's occurring?

Re: Epiphany search from address bar - change behaviour

I've got it set to work in mine, looking thorught my config the most likely option is:
keyword.enabled -> true
keyword.URL -> http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m … g+Lucky&q=

(That's to do an 'I'm Feeling Lucky' search, changed that URL accordingly)

Re: Epiphany search from address bar - change behaviour

That's strange.

Both those setting are correct (different URL, but it's copied from the working one in Arch).
It's resolving single words to URLs, and says 'the URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when more than one word is typed in, but the same search terms are working in my Arch copy, so it can't be a punctuation thing.

I suppose I'd best ask on a Debian forum - perhaps it's something specific to the distro (although I can't see why it would be).
If anyone can think of any other reason for it, please let me know.

Re: Epiphany search from address bar - change behaviour

mayb those guys at debian didn't like the way completion worked and patched it (maybe it was not free enough for them -- just kidding), They alredy have their own fork of firefox and like 1% of their packages aren't patched, so it wouldn't be that surprising.

i notice in my install that i have to type "g" before the search for a single word, while phrases will go to google without the g. maybe it's the same in debian. ?
