Url keyword guessing does not work since FF4 update
Firefox 3 had this feature in which if you typed in a keyword into the address bar and pressed enter, it would automatically direct you to the website most related to the term. Now all that happens is I am directed to google. EX: In FF3 typing "best buy" would lead you to Bestbuy.com Now: "best buy" = google search page of "best buy"
I already did a searched for a solution, having done the "fixup" and "keyword.enabled" fixes, only to find that they had no effect. I do realize at this point that they are unrelated to my problem.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
- Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
- Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

It does seem that since changing default keyword.url to the google feeling lucky that it has returned to the former ability to locate sites.
It is a shame that this appears to be yet another thing we have to do to get FF 4 to work how previous versions like FF3 used to. These so called improvements are awful.
