Recently, I found that some searches in Firefox are redirected to Bing. (Instead of my primary search engine Google.)

I am not sure, but it seems that it is not bound to search but rather a hostname resolving. Since entering a single word that might be a hostname redirects to Bing. But entering more words searches using my primary search engine.

hey -> uses Bing to search

hey hey -> uses Google to search

I found that the resulting search url contains MSSRPD:

http://www.bing.com/search?q=hey&form=MSSRPD

I am wondering what is the MSSRPD and how can I uninstall/disable, so my primary search engine is used?
