Bug Description

Binary package hint: konqueror

The google search box on the about:konqueror page doesn't work as
expected if you change the 'konq -> settings -> web shortcuts -> keyword delimiter'
from colon to space.

If you search for 'string' you would expect the search string to be 'string'.
What happens is you get 'gg:string'.

The search box is to search for *local* files, not google...

That is by default yes. It however, does use the default search engine set in 'konq -> settings -> web shortcuts -> default search engine'

Try setting the 'default search engine' to wikipedia, go to about:konqueror and search for 'linux'.
The only 'default search engine' behaving as expected with the 'keyword delimiter' set to 'space' is kio-locate.
