Addressbar: specific Google keyword services blocked

tl;dr Custom/fake Error page.
Test the browser location field. Possible source of the problem: https://github.com/sailfishos/sailfish-browser
Enter anything without quote marks and hit Enter. The browser goes to the expected Google result page. Next, input:
news or youtube or google or localhost or gmail or android or goo or gle or goog.
Tap Enter. The browser reports an error. Use "google anything" (no quotes) and it works (no error). Only the error page for localhost might be expected since no local (on-device) web server instances serve port 80 on my Jolla (upgraded to latest release earlier today).
It is the same whether the default search engine is Google or Bing.
This seems careless.
The symptoms remain after closing the browser and clearing the browser history (I did not power cycle the phone off-on). Has some regex in the code been allowed astray? I realise this is not a show-stopper, so please link to the right general area of code in the source and I'll see about proposing a fix, if relevant source is on a github or another repository.
Huh, this is very weird. I get that error page when I enter "youtube" (without the quotation marks), but anything else (without quotation marks) just goes to search results as expected.
nthn ( 2015-01-24 13:27:19 +0300 )editvery weird indeed. google, youtube etc. seem to be being interpreted as addresses for some reason. it also happens if you type in "jolla" btw.

Weird.
