When I mouse click in the address location and enter fore, this little thing pops up and wants to do a Google search for the word fore. Naturally this does NOT get me to the local weather forecast since it bypasses looking for the keyword. I like the history feature that pops up but I want to get rid of the Google search part. If I want to search for something with Google, I type in gg and then type in what I am searching for. I have looked in preferences, even looked at the USE flags but I can't figure out how to get rid of this. It is annoying as heck.

Dale On my Seamonkey, it only does the Google search if I move down to the Google search 'fore' and click it/press enter on it. Otherwise it goes to DNS.

(I do not have Internet Keywords enabled in seamonkey) I think what it is is this, I click on the location bar and my mouse moves down a little when I type something in. I'm a old fart so I look down at my keyboard a lot when I type, especially when I am coming back from the mouse. I think that when I hit return the mouse is just under the location bar which when I hit return makes it go to the Google search thing. Makes me want to learn source code and get rid of that and a couple other things too. I don't like that right click options to much. Maybe this is one of those times when problem is in the chair? ;-) Dale :-) :-)

What happens to me usually is I click in the location bar so I can type a URL, then I nudge my mouse out of the way so I can see what I'm typing. As I'm typing, the mouse drifts 1 pixel, causing the Google search 'blah' bar to become highlighted. When I press enter to go to my URL, it googles the URL instead, causing me to mutter workplace-inappropriate things to myself. My cure for this: use control-L instead of the mouse to put the focus on the location bar... except for the 50% of the time when I forget to do that and use the mouse instead. I use the Google search from the location bar on purpose all the time, though; it is my primary method of googling. I type something and press downarrow-enter and off I go. I can't even remember the last time I went to google.com directly.

I can't even remember the last time I went to google.com directly. What you are describing is what I am talking about. I just always go to Google because my bookmark has a lot of preferences set up there, like display 100 results instead of 10. Only thing is, most all the time I am not wanting to search for anything but just go to a bookmark. It's annoying as heck. Dale :-) :-)
