          Most people don’t even know the difference between an URL bar and a search bar, or more precisely: most devices use a browser that deliberately obfuscates that difference.

            when browsers overload the url field to act as a search field, can you blame people for not knowing the difference? To the users its become a distinction without a difference.

            They say that whats tolerated is whats encouraged. Browser software companies have encouraged people to be uninformed about the tool they are using. Easier to mess with them that way.
