For the people who like the way Firefox handles this, here is the solution:
- type about:config in the address bar
- search for keyword.URL
- 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= - restart Flock and try the example again, you will see it no handles it like Firefox would do!
