I know that one can search using the default search engine by typing into the address bar too. My problem is when I type some keywords into the URL bar and press enter, ff try to connect to the server as if there is an address of some website and en up with "Problem Loading Page" message. For example, if I type "ielowutil.exe" in the URL bar, ff tries to connect to www.ielowutil.exe How can I stop ff from making this kind of errors?

Best is to use a keyword search and assign a (one letter) keyword to a bookmark or search engine if you want to do a one word search. If there are spaces (i.e. more than one word) then Firefox will do a search, but with one word Firefox will first try to resolve the URL.
