Search from address bar with one word

Hello,

at my desktop computer I can search from the address bar even if I only enter one word. On the notebook I only get "http://test/"; for "test". Which option do I need to change, so I get "http://www.google.de/search?q=test"; just like on the desktop?

Thanks for your replies. smiling smiley

That checkbox was already checked and Google is selected in the drop down list. And it works if I enter more than one word, but doesn't if there's only one searchword. sad smiley

Any more things I can try/check?

This work fine to me to search one word.
What K-Meleon version are you using and what Windows version?

It's posible that you have defined some nick in Bookmarks identical to the word searched, are you tried with different words?

On another computer it works for me as well, but not on this particular one. But I don't know what's different on this one.

No nick with that word defined, tried it with different words (I stumple upon this problem every day or every other day when I try to search for s.th. "new").
