Type a word in the address bar will take me more is the closest match. This feature has been removed?

In all recent versions of firefox (that I remember), I was able to type in any word in the address bar and it would take me to what was usually the first result of google, now it takes me just a google search.
For example, I could type in "Wikipedia" and it would take me the wikipedia House directly, now it takes me to a google search the word "wikipedia".
I tried this in a number of betas FF4 nothing helps, it is still missing in the RC. I am disappointed.

Any help?

The change between Firefox 3.6. * and Firefox 4 is how the location bar search. In Firefox 3.6, it uses Google search "search by name". With innovation by the name search, it performs a search on Google and if there is a clear match he will take you on the site, otherwise, it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it performs just a search on Google, if you type in something that is not recognized as a URL.

To get the behavior of Firefox 3.6 on Firefox 4, you must change a hidden preference.

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
