Turn Firefox location bar into search box

Turn Firefox location bar into search box I'd like to change the default behavior of the location bar in Firefox to search Google unless I specifically enter a domain name, and I don't mean just changing the location bar from Google's 'feeling lucky' to a normal Google SERP.

"Something else to try is going to about:config and then changing the keyword.URL value.

By default it is set to this:
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

Try changing it to this and see if it makes a difference:
http://www.google.com/search?q="

I have Firefox 3.5.2 and this is the default behavior. I haven't set up any features or settings. Maybe you have an old version, prior to them adding the 'smart bar' feature.. try updating here http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html
