How do I enable Firefox 4 to do a search on more than one word (e.g. "yahoo mail") without receiving the error message "the URL is not valid and cannot be loaded"?

After loading Firefox 4.0, I changed the address bar search engine to Google Search by Name, so I'd be taken straight to the most relevant webpage when I type in a word. It works fine when I type in one word, but if I use a search with more than one word (e.g. "yahoo mail" or "google maps") I get an alert saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded". Is there any way I can fix the address bar to accept multiple word searches? I've tried disabling all my add-ons, but it didn't make any difference.

Hi, this should sort out your problem:

1. Type in "about:config" into the address bar, this will open the settings menu. Click on "I'll be careful, I promise!"

2. Search for "keyword.URL" in the filter bar.

3. Enter "http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=" into the value field.

I'm no expert, but I had the same problem which got on my nerves after being so used to being able to type anything in, and following these steps fixed it.
