Make Flock work more like Firefox

One thing I dislike on Flock, is it doesn't handle the things you type in the address bar like Firefox does. for example, type the word flock in the address bar of the two programs, Firefox will bring you to the flock homepage, flock will give search-results in yahoo.
For the people who like the way Firefox handles this, here is the solution:
  1. type about:config in the address bar
  2. search for keyword.URL
  3. double click this option and change the value to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
  4. restart Flock and try the example again, you will see it no handles it like Firefox would do!

Flock

Flock is a Firefox-based open source project that makes browsing the web more fun than ever before. It combines Firefox with a special sidebar that makes it very easy to organize your blogs, YouTube account, feed-subscriptions and so on. It also has a special search utility especially to find pictures, YouTube-movies etc.
you can download Flock on http://www.flock.com/
