This is likely about the "Search for text when you start typing" feature that you can find in "Options/Preferences -> General -> Browsing".

As a footnote, the keyword.enabled preference controls whether Firefox allows searches from the address bar. The preference corresponding to the setting cor-el mentioned is accessibility.typeaheadfind.
