On Firefox you can disable this via an about:config setting (set keyword.enabled to false).

  ahh cool.. but a binary toggle is a bit to coarse. it would be nice if the input string contains a whitespace, it will perform the search engine query for you automatically, or allow some custom regex expression to determine whether to query search engine.

    Or just have two text inputs[1]: one for url and one for search, rather than trying to overload two functions into one text input and trying to guess what the user wants.

    In your search settings you can add keywords. So if you set ? as the keyword for google you can type '? foobar' into the address bar to google for foobar.
