[Bug 270853] Re: No umlaut (äöüß) support in awesomebar (smart keywords)

[hussong]

** Summary changed:

- No umlaut support in awesomebar (smart keywords)
+ No umlaut (äöüß) support in awesomebar (smart keywords)

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  1) Ubuntu 8.04.1
  
  2) 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3 -- same in FF2 on Ubuntu 7.04,
  7.10 and Windows XP btw
  
  3) Submitting a quicksearch from the adress bar (using bookmark-based
  smart keywords) containing an umlaut (e.g. search term "Bäcker") to any
  pre-defined destination and having the exact same search term show up on
  the results page.
  
  4) Having any umlaut in the query string messed up somewhere in the
  process (e.g. "bäcker"), leading to meaningless results.
  
- Personal note: Submitting queries from the adress bar is one of the most
- powerful features of FF, I use it all the time and it saves me a lot of
- silly clicking.  The lack of umlaut support is causing me--and probably
- all others who need it--pain on an hourly basis and I would be very
- thankful if you/the mozilla guys could fix it!  It can't be that hard to
- fix since umlauts work in the quicksearch bar (which I never use) and in
- the Ubiquity extension (which is only a workaround to this issue).
