Single word search term entered into address bar triggers redirect to same web site every time
When I enter a single word into the address bar, I am redirected to www.grindtv.com every single time, no matter what that word is. When I enter more than one word, the browser performs a search properly, according to my config settings. Changing config settings like keyword.url and keyword.enabled do not have any effect on the single word redirect issue.
All plugins and add-ons are disabled while troubleshooting and have no effect.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox (removing personal preferences) with no improvement. I have cleared all history. I have searched all config settings for "grindtv" to no avail.

Check the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page.
You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
- Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
- Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Thanks for trying, but as I mentioned above, changes to the keyword.url and keyword.enabled settings in the configuration settings do not have any effect on the problem.
Changes to those settings do have an effect on a search using two or more words in the address bar. But if I only type in a single word, I am still redirected to that same web site, regardless of the about:config settings.
