If it fits your needs, you can use the Omnibar Add-On, which is modeled after Chrome.
Integrates location bar and search bar into one. Shows search and url suggestions. Quickly switch search engine using search keywords. Provides different auto-complete popup styles for compact displays.

It seems to work fine for me, I just typed cats and dogs in the address bar, and it looked it up in google. I have Firefox version 4.0

Posting here because I have been frustrated by the same problem and discovered a quick and painless workaround that saves us from having to install addons:
Just type a space somewhere in the address bar. FF is at least smart enough to know immediately that any name lookup containing a space is doomed to fail, so it goes directly to the fallback search functionality.
Instead of "cats" search "cats ".
