Does this happen to anyone else?
I am trying to use spotlight more and see if I can use it to replace quicksilver. What is happening is this: I type in a part of a previously visited webpage. It finds it in history. I click on it and a warning dialogue pops up which says "http.WebpageI'mTryingToGetTo.webhistory" is an application which was downloaded from the internet. Are you sure you want to open it. I have the choice to either cancel or open it.
That step, from what I understand should not be there (its not an application afterall)
Any suggestions for a fix would be appreciated.

Are you sure it's not suppose to be there? Never used that, since I use quicksilver and not spotlight, but I think that would be normal, it's for security just in case it was something you don't want to open.

I have a thread going at Macrumors (not very helpful at this point) and everyone there does not have this popup. I called Apple (he was pretty clueless in general) and he did have it. I think what's strange is that the popup says that "http.WebpageI'mTryingToGetTo.webhistory" is an application which it obviously is not. Do you have it?
I'm running 10.5.6 still. Safari 3.2.1
It might very well be a feature....but it makes using spotlight to open webpages really cumbersome and reminds me of Vista's feature that asks the user all the time...."Are you sure you want to do this?....No, I mean really sure?!" -
I can't test to see if I have it, I have spot light disabled because it was using up to much CPU indexing my drives.
