Comment Re:Searching from the address bar (Score 1) 528
I couldn't disagree more. One of the things that kept me with the original Mozilla suite for so long, rather than switching to Firefox was the ability to trigger a search from the address bar. Now that Firefox can do the same (and not waste screen real estate with an unneccesary extra box), I've switched. What do you possibly gain by having a separate search box? I just don't get it.
I don't know what new feature you're talking about since I haven't read the article, but FF has always been able to trigger searches from the address bar with using keywords. For example, if I wanted to search for "ipod", I'd simply press control-l to get to the address bar, and then type "g ipod". On amazon? Type "am ipod". And so on. Fast and simple. Granted, I could have pressed control k for the search box, but sometimes I have the wrong engine there.
