Firefox treats URL as search terms instead of as URL

I have been accepted in the Neeva beta and I want to make Neeva my default search engine for Firefox on my iPhone. Neeva gave me a URL to go to in Firefox that would do this. The URL is:

https://alpha.neeva.co/search?q=%s&src=nvobar

But, after I enter that into the URL bar and hit go, FIrefox treats it as search terms and sends it to my current search engine (DuckDuckGo) as a search instead of going to the URL.

I can't seem to find away to make it go to the URL. I've even entered the URL into one of my notes applications and then clicked on it from that and that didn't work either because it expanded some of the characters.

How can I get Firefox to follow this URL?

Thanks.

Could you try the steps in the "Add a search engine" section of the following article and let us know whether they work for Neeva:

Change your default search engine in Firefox for iOS

After that, you can use the steps in the first section of the article to make that your default search engine.

Success?

Mission accomplished. After seeing the URL in my above post recognized by the forum software as a URL (which made it into a hot link), I pointed my phone to this page and then clicked on the link. Finally!

Anyway. I'd still like to know if there is a way to force Firefox to treat a URL as a URL!

Actually, I spoke too soon. Still doesn't work. Maybe the URL is broken, is it constructed correctly?

Wow, that's a bit embarrasing. I completely misunderstood what I was suppose to do with that URL. It's working, now. Thank you for the help.
