   Hi, your problem made me curious, so I played around a little bit and I   
   found an option that may solve your problem.   
      
   On my SM 2.52.22, if you just disable "Perform a web search when entered   
   text is not a web location" at "Edit->Preferences->Browser->Location   
   bar" (the last option, down at the "Unknown Locations" section) then SM   
   doesn't perform a search on your default search engine whenever you   
   enter any random text on the location bar.   
      
   I wish this helps!
