After I updated my anti virus, when I searched in the address bar it would show me the keyword results in Ask.com instead of Google. I got rid of this by removing iot from right hand side search bar under "customise".

Then the problem I had is that when I search in the adress bar a keyword for example "YouTube" it would take me to YouTube.com instead of giving me the google results page for it. I got rid of that somehow (without going into about.config) and now when I search in the address bar it has to be a URL.

How do I TURN ON the keyword search again, as oppose to that article telling me how to turn it off.

Thank you in advance.

BTW, I have latest version of firefox.

Change the address in keyword.URL in about:config. http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q= Is the default setup for Google for the keyword.
