Steps to reproduce:

Enter a search-keyword and press enter.

Actual results:

Google (my default engine) search for [keyword]

Expected results:

Be taken to the <SearchForm> of my keyworded searchengine like it has been for about 15 years: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325913

Seems duplication of Bug 1675996

Sorry, I did not see that.
But it should be markted as "defect" not as "enhancement"...

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Component: Untriaged → Search
Component: Search → Address Bar

This is the expected behavior now, going to the search engine form is not the most common operation for most users, and we are making the urlbar more powerful to be able to not even actually need it. For the remaining needs one can just setup a bookmark or partially type the search engine host and get it autofilled.
