Scroogle search URL filter

Oddysey,

Quote:The question was, does FF look at hyphens and convert them to spaces?

No, I don't think so. I get different behaviour from separating search words with hyphens versus spaces. What Firefox seems to be doing is
looking for the presence of spaces. If the string has no spaces, with
or without hyphens, it does not kick in with its default search, and the
Proxomitron jump is used (as long as there are no periods or slashes).
If spaces are present, FF does take over. After all, a normal URL does
not contain spaces.
Google ignores hyphens, which is why the hyphen trick can be used.
