Huh?
/me types "Hykosis Kings" in the URL bar, then clicks Search...(although 
I much prefer pressing the <down arrow> to highlight the "Search 
<default search engine> for" dialog and pressing <Enter>):
http://www.google.com/search?q=Hyksos+Kings&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&sa=n&oq=Hykosis+Kings

seems to work... maybe that's cuz I'm currently using the Windows 
version... let's try under linux...
yep... same thing.

Perhaps your default search engine is horked... 
Edit-Preferences-Navigator-Internet Search and choosing a default search 
engine that works

HTH,
