Cannot use URL bar as search bar. Help?
I have recently had my laptop fixed, and have been reinstalling all of my add-ons and changing the settings to how I would like them. I have changed my broadband provider to TalkTalk during this time. Anyway, I cannot seem to find a way to use the URL bar as a search bar, and a TalkTalk "cannot find ..." page appears. I have looked at other solutions and my about:config settings all appear to be how they should for it to work properly. This problem still occurs with add-ons disabled.
keyword.enabled is set to 'true' browser.search.defaultenginename is deafault with Google
Thanks in advance

You may have an ISP that automatically redirects you to a search page if a DNS look up fails. This takes the control from Firefox to do a search. You can contact your ISP and ask for a DNS server to opt-out of that feature. You can check if there is a link on the search results page to go to your ISP and opt-out. You can set different DNS servers.
