I have never had firefox mistake a url for a search, though.

I have plenty of times, which is why I went hunting for a way to disable it.

FYI, the magic about:config key that you need to set to false is "keyword.enabled". After that Firefox will finally stop using any non-url string as a search query and will instead say say "Hmm. That address doesn’t look right. Please check that the URL is correct and try again."
