Holy **** I thought it was just me!
I feel left out. Not only do I not know WTF everyone's talking about but I'm in a search now and still don't see any problem or have any issues searching. I don't mistype any periods. Is this because I'm using a 6 Plus? Anyway, I never even noticed anything on my iPhone 4s either. It's like I'm in a different realm.
I want to experience the frustration too!

I'm happy at this. Happens to me all the time currently.

Interesting. I must have a long thumb. I'm sure my thumb is proportionately longer than the rest of my hand because it's not like I have super large hands. I have fingers just long enough to manage the 6+ in one hand.I have the 6+ and do this all the time. Search has a special keyboard with a big Go button and a "." button which is where the right-hand side of spacebar normally is. I'd guess this mainly affects people who habitually type the space bar with their right thumb because that makes going farther to the left an uncomfortable reach. (I've tried but I just can't pick up the habit of reaching further on the search keyboard.) So perhaps if you type the space with a different hand or finger or have a longish thumb, or use a custom keyboard, then this wouldn't be an issue.
Mitigating it... search seems to do a decent job even if you leave the periods in there.
Shrinking the Go button is a good fix, IMO.

IOS8 in landscape orientation, upper left corner of the keyboard, under the microphone key. When you hit it accidentally it reeeeealllly sucks and isn't too hard to do. Wipes out everything in that message, whether it's a sentence or a book. Gone.
Edit: Oops, not in Safari, just in the native Text App. Still annoying.
Edit 2: Yep it's in Safari too.
Now if only Apple could fix the control center glitch when the phone is locked, which prevents the user from swiping up even though the feature is enabled.
after almost two years, nice!
This has been an issue for me even with 8.2.Fingers crossed I've not yet had this happen on 8.2? But It's been a constant grumble since 8.0. Half the time having to swipe to password screen to get it to work.
This is why you don't let a hardware guru loose in the software department.
It's been part of American English for a long time. Just because British English uses a different word for it, doesn't make American English somehow wrong.What the hell is a "period key"? Do you mean the full stop key? ****ing yanks have to change everything in the English language.
I see they've still not added a delete key which just about the only thing I want changed.
And the delete key has always been there on the keyboard.

Where? I can't see it. I've got a backspace key which deletes as you move backwards but I can't see an actual delete key.

There's no such thing as British English, it's just English. And yes if you change the word then you're wrong. Do Americans change all the words in Spanish and call it American Spanish as opposed to Spanish Spanish?
There is absolutely no reason to change English words that have been established for centuries just because Americans prefer a different word. No other country does it. You don't have Canadian English or New Zealand English. They're respectful enough to use the established words.
