Bug Description

In Epiphany 2.14 I'm using the integrated Google search in the URL entry field all the time. However, testing the 2.16 in Ubuntu Edgy I see this feature is not available anymore and I get the message "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded"

Upstream says this is working for them, seems to be a specific bug of the Edgy package. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350053

Thanks for your bug. "chpe" who opened the bugzilla bug is upstream for epiphany and he would have not opened a GNOME bug is that was Ubuntu specific. As pointed by the upstream bug that's a firefox issue, and it's already known, marking as duplicate

Changed in epiphany-browser:
assignee: nobody → desktop-bugs
status: Unconfirmed → Rejected

Based on Bugzilla it appears the patch has been committed to CVS. I've attached a version that's rediffed against 2.16.1 instead of HEAD. I've patched my Epiphany installation, and it's working well. It'd be nice to see this put into Ubuntu until 2.16.2 is released since the current behavior is *very* disruptive to normal use of Epiphany.
