Hi all,

if Firefox doesn't recognise something I put in the address bar, it will take me to Google and auto-search for it. It's really annoying when I put in a machine's service processor name and NIS+ doesn't auto-recognise it, or maybe I've spelled it wrong and it just goes to Google...

Is there any way I can turn this off? I'm using Firefox 2

Ben

type 'about:config' into the address bar

search for 'keyword.enabled' and set it to false

that turns off the 'search from the url bar'

Excellent, I'll try that when I get back in on Monday, or maybe if I go online over the weekend :)

Cheers
