That is strange indeed, it should have done a keyword search on Google. Are you 
connecting to the web via some kind of proxy server perhaps?

I very much doubt the 'adware' theory, I have never seen anything like that on 
Linux.

When you type 'bbc' in the address field, you will also see a dropdown menu 
with at least the option 'search the web'. What happens if you select that 
(cursor down+enter or mouse)?

PS Did you know you can grab a single window with the gnome screenshot applet 
by pressing Alt+PrintScreen?
