Try the following, it will reset a couple of the location bar search options.

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, this will then bring up a list of preferences
  3. In the filter box type keyword to get it to show a couple of preferences
  4. If either keyword.enabled or keyword.URL have the status set to user set, right-click on them and choose Reset
