Unable to reproduce on Sugar 0.112, Ubuntu 16.04 Method used for testing:

• Open Browse activity
• Visit www.github.com
• Once loaded, add a leading space to the URL
• Press enter

Observed Result: the same site is visited

While trying to reproduce this, a strange issue observed was:

• Visit www.sugarlabs.org
• Edit the URL and type a new one
• Press enter

Expected Result:

• Redirected to the new URL

Observed Result

• Redirected to www.sugarlabs.org/search/?q=

I've no explanation for the observed difference in behaviour.

I've tested again, Browse 201.4 or d9eecc3e3cddbb08eecff7e0839bd43bc8bfd647, Sugar 0.112 on Ubuntu 16.04, in KVM;

• start Browse, and observe the default page data/index.html,
• click in the URL entry widget, move insertion caret to start of entry, press space bar once, press enter,
• observe a Google Search is made instead.

Can you confirm you have latest version of WebKit2? dpkg-query -W | grep webkit gives me gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 version 2.18.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

On the additional problem you noted, I do observe that. Astounding.

@geekrypter, you added the search feature to www.sugarlabs.org, how did you break Browse in this way?

Able to reproduce. Sorry. my mistake was that I was adding a trailing space.
