Currently running v14.0.1. The most recent update seems to have disabled the ability to perform searches from the Location Bar; instead, I have to use the Search Bar exclusively. This is mildly inconvenient as I usually have the dedicated Search Bar set to something other than Google, such as Wikipedia or YouTube, and being able to quickly do a Google search from the Location Bar was faster than changing the search engine in the Search Bar.

Ah-ha! Seems as though everything was set correctly, but somehow the newest version wiped out the keyword.URL value. Set it to "http://www.google.com/search?q=" and it worked. Thanks!
