Если это поисковый запрос, то ищется эта фраза в поисковой системе, которая стоит по умалчиванию. И результатом будет результат, находящийся на первом месте поиска. Если это адрес, то он просто загружается. Firefox будет стараться загрузить многие фразы, понимая их как адрес страницы. Например, когда пользователь хочет найти имя файла как svchost.exe. Firefox будет пытаться загрузить сайт svchost.exe. Хотя домена exe не существует Существую плагины которые могут расширить обучить Firefox доменным именам, чтобы он не пытался загружать их, при поиске файлов. Но есть и более просто способ. Просто ставьте знак ? перед искомой фразой и Firefox будет искать ее в поисковике.

There's a right-click menu option that pops up when you click in search boxes that does this, named something like "add keyword to this item" or whatnot. I use, for instance, g for google...so if I want to search for something in google, I hit ctrl+L, and type something like "g whatever" and i get my search! Yay! ^^.

I have mine setup so typing "g svchost.exe" in the address bar searches google for svchost.exe, "w svchost.exe" searches wikipedia, etc. See http://lifehacker.com/software/geek-to-live/geek-to-live-fifteen-firefox-quick-searches-129658.php for more.

Whenever you enter a keyword in the location bar with a site having an authority listing for the site is loaded automatically, otherwise the search results are displayed. USBMan I agree. A great Firefox add-on. Webmaster that’s because those have authority listings.

Another nice option is to use <a href="http://cybernetnews.com/" rel="nofollow">Cybernetnews</a>' wonderful <a href="http://cybernetnews.com/cybersearch/" rel="nofollow">CyberSearch</a> addon (also see <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7931" rel="nofollow">here</a>). Among other features, it adds the ability to conduct Google searches and show the results directly within the AwesomeBar! In my opinion, this takes the AwesomeBar to the next level - a terrific addon worth taking a look at! Good find!
