[QUOTE="blackice, post: 890604, member: 79035"] In reviewing the documentation on this it doesn't seem as severe as the title makes it out. It is only single word search terms including hyphenated terms. This can easily be mitigated in the short term by not using the url bar to search, or at least not when using single word searches. Good on Firefox for offering to disable it. But, maybe a best practice is to go to the search engine you want to use instead of using the url bar (inconvenient, but minor). [/QUOTE]
