How do I Keyword Search in the addres bar in 4?

In Firefox 3.x.x.x I was able to just type in keywords that I was searching for and I would be taken to the best guess based on what I typed in the address bar. Now in 4, I am just taken to a google search of whatever I typed in. I tried checking the keyword.enabled in about:config, but it is already set to true. What am I missing?

Check out the solution from cor-el in this thread for two different ways to set up the location bar search. (Ignore my answer there!)

Why can I not go to a site without typing .com .org .gov ect. | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help
