Google search acting weird

My google search button appears to be 'broken'. When I enter a word, for example 'motorbeurs', it seems to feed Google the search string 'motormotormomotormotorm'. When I put in 'hello'(for a test), I got 'Q'. When I put in 'k-meleon', I got 'k-mk-mk'
Does this sound familiair to anyone?

Hello,
"Familiar" may not be the right term... but I do experience the same problems. It seems like Google modified once again the behaviour of its keyword page. For a workaround that may or may not work, please see this thread :

Here is how I get around this problem- when I open the search Box I hit the Space Bar several times and then type my search almost in the center of the Box,It works for me.

Then maybe Zeiram's link is worth checking for you, too ;-)
I found the extra line that needed to be added to prefs.js, added it, and it works 100% again.
Tnx, Zeiram!

But why make it so difficult for yourself?

The number of times that I would actually use this feature is soo little that it really does not matter,it's just as fast to type" Google" in the address Bar and hit enter.

Must be nice not to need to find anything
I'd rather type a few spaces and a keyword and get right to it.
Thanx for the clues, guys!!! I thought I'd lost IT.
