don't want I'm feeling lucky

forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/194146 This is an enhancement request, but I do think myself that the "I'm feeling lucky" action is a little too "magic" and should be more obvious user interface wise. From: Marcelo E. Magallon <mmagallo@debian.org> Package: epiphany-browser Version: 0.6.0-3 Severity: normal Hi, when typing a keyword on the location bar, epiphany uses Google's I'm Feeling Lucky mode. I don't want that. I fixed it by editing ~/.gnome2/epiphany/mozilla/epiphany/prefs.js and replacing the keyword.URL with the follwing: user_pref("keyword.URL", "http://www.google.com/search?q="); after an upgrade (?) it got overwritten with the former value. What's the proper way to achieve this then?
i think this is an issue with how we initialize prefs. We use to include a defaultprefs.js file, but switched to hardcoding these for some reason (marco would know better). FWIW, the default epiphany ui has multiple ways to search with google (bookmarks bar, smart bookmark and soon the dfault homepage), so i don't think there is any reason to change the default.
Yeah we are forced to override the prefs ... The only way we could change it is providing a gconf pref instead, but I dont think it's worth.

The patch looks good. Dave do you think it's worth to have such an hidden pref ?
up to you, I don't really see the point considering we have a default search box and google smartbookmark.
Sorry ...
