Bug#429520: "keyword" in URL bar not being replaced causes annoying Google side effect

[Sam Hocevar]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.18.1-3
Severity: normal

   When I type "blah" or "keyword:blah" in the URL bar, epiphany loads
the http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=blah URL. But
contrary to what happens when I directly load that URL, the top links on
the Google results page (Images, Video, News etc.) do not work properly
(they are missing the &q=blah part).

   This might be related to the URL not being replaced in the status
bar, and could pretty well be a Google javascript bug, but what really
happens is a bit beyond my understanding.
