GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 603324
Search in URL bar broken when validating with ctrl+enter
Last modified: 2009-11-30 14:03:10 UTC
1. type anything (that isn't a URL) in the URL bar and validate with enter => string is searched in google 2. type anything (that isn't a URL) in the URL bar and validate with ctrl+enter (to open a new tab) => Epiphany tries to open it as a URL and cannot resolve hostname (obviously) Epiphany 2.28.1 on Fedora 12 x86_64
To fix this we need to fix ephy_web_view_load_request to do the same check we do in ephy_web_view_load_url to decide whether we want to search stuff in google or not, since when opening things in a new tab we use the former function, not the latter.
This is fixed in master, commit 2aca0c21a8f140a6d3b6bddfa4aed1b31326b1cd
