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".

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.
