Comment:

 This still happens in git version of Browse but the exception is a bit
 different, it refers to SQLite:
 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/humitos/sugar-
 jhbuild/install/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/webtoolbar.py",
 line 216, in __changed_cb
     if not self.props.text or not self._search_update():
   File "/home/humitos/sugar-
 jhbuild/install/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/webtoolbar.py",
 line 123, in _search_update
     for place in places.get_store().search(self.props.text):
   File "/home/humitos/sugar-
 jhbuild/install/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/places.py", line
 73, in search
     (text, text, self.MAX_SEARCH_MATCHES))
 sqlite3.ProgrammingError: You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you
 use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory
 = str). It is highly recommended that you instead just switch your
 application to Unicode strings.
 }}}

 I wrote something like this: {{{ðßæðđ ðßđßðæđ æßð đæßłđþ@ł€¶ đðæß^ł}}} in
 the address bar.
