Go to plug-in portal main page and type some string to the search textfield. Then push Enter on the keyboard. This action reloads the page instead of submit of typed search string. Pushing Enter key should work the same way as pushing "Search For Plugins" button.

I used a hack I found in a Creator blog that simulates the desired behavior. If a user enters text in the search field and hits "enter" the page will be submitted.
Verified.
This is back it appears.

This defect will not be fixed until VWP can handle setting virtual forms dynamically. Most of the dynamic content on the first page is made up of hyperlinks. When the "enter" key is pressed, If the search text field is not blank, the search will be triggered. The only way to stop this is to either add all the dynamically added links to the "links" virtual form or disable the ability to search when pressing the "Enter" key. I can't add the hyperlinks to the "links" virtual form because the JSF component model is not filled in with the virtual form information on a non-postback operation. A non-postback is where the page is navigated to from a non-JSF page. Because this is the first page of the plugin portal, the JSF component is not filled in. So the only option left is to take off the "search on Enter key" ability and that's what I've done. This likely won't change unless I can find another workaround for either the virtual form issue or I can somehow change the "Search" button to be type "submit".
It is the same with the Login textfield when the uset wants to log on to the pluginportal. For users that are not aware of this issue it may be really hard even to log on to the pluginportal.

David, Does the site already require JavaScript? Haven't looked at it that close yet. Anyways, if so, can't you attach code, name the search and login links, and then fire the same event which gets fired when the button is clicked?
Now that I've made changes to search to support "GET" style calls, I might be able to do Javascript. I'll look into it. Thanks!

Raising priority due to many duplicates.
Fixed.
Yes, the Enter finally works! Thanks a lot David.
