There should be an option that lets you auto-update the search box. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to google.com 2.type in a search 3.the search result does not appear on the search bar Actual Results: the search bar did not auto-update Expected Results: Firefox should have an option to be able to auto-update the search box

More generally, the different search systems (e.g.: URI-bar keywords, the search box, WWW site form of popular SEs, bookmarklets) should try as far as is possible to use the same list of search words for autocompleting.

Also the `Find in this page' (FITP) search box should probably use the same autocomplete database (at least at the option of the user). It would be nice to be able to easily copy the phrase you searched for in the SE box to the FITP box too (and maybe vice versa). Even better would be to, on pages which you got through via a SERP link, add the word(s) you searched for to the FITP box and automatically set highlighting on.

Have you look at those extensions? Maybe it can help. https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=343 (only works with Google) https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=376

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.

looks like a valid enhancement ->NEW

This is the kind of thing that is pretty much impossible to get right. You'd have to somehow manage to retrieve the searched for string, and easy ways to do that don't really exist. If Google changes their querystring format or their results page markup, the "sniffing" fails. I'd say this is WONTFIX.

Agreed. This would be fragile at best, and with multiple tabs may seem unexpected.
