Description Carl van Tonder 2009-12-08 15:51:52 UTC 
URL bar keyword search is hard-coded to use Google, a regression from 2.26 and a privacy concern. The attached patch adds a gconf key (`url_search`) which defaults to Google (though potentially this is a bug in itself) to define a search string for address bar searches. If the value is blank or null, the patch causes epiphany to silently fall back to Google as well, although incorrect strings in the gconf key are not handled.
