While you are typing, a box appears below the field with matches. Once you've got "ebay" typed, Safari automatically adds the .com portion for you in the field, and you see matches including: 1. The top hit (www.ebay.com), which is selected by default 2. Google Search auto-completion matches 3. Matching bookmarks and matches from your browsing history Here's a screen shot: <http://jollyroger.kicks-ass.org/safari/search_location_bar.png> If you want to go to the web site, you can just type Enter/Return. If you want some other match, such as a Google search, you can use the arrow keys or mouse/trackpad to select it. This behavior seems perfectly fine to me. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR

Right. So that happens exactly once, and then for ever more after that it works exactly the way I described.

I'm not seeing the problem here. if you always go to the same sites, then no, it won't be a problem, but then why bother typing anything? just bookmark them and it's just a click. meanwhile, many people go to new sites they haven't been to and will encounter it.

There's only so many sites you can fit in your bookmarks bar. If you have lots of sites, you have to start grouping them into menus and submenus, and then it's more than just one click. If you can get there by just typing the first few characters and using the autocomplete (if I've been to Ebay recently, all I have to type is "e" and it's at the top of the list), that ends up being easier than navigating menus. -- Barry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me ***

Add a space, or a / (adding a / will prevent Safari from searching) So, for example, let's say there is a site abcd.com that I have never gone to. if I type: abcd = google search for abcd abcd.com = loads abc.com abcd/ = loads abc.com Now, let's say there's a site dcba.com that I HAVE been to before. "dcba " = google search for dcba dcba - will load dcba.com -- IT DOES NOT SUCK TO BE YOU Bart chalkboard Ep. AABF13

It does say that. Before any text is entered, the field says "Search Google or enter an addresss" in grey text, which is replaced as soon as you start typing something.

So don't complain, just don't use the option you don't like. Isaac

Yea, but - I don't see Apple doing that, unless said URL(s) are in
your history, or bookmarks.

It's not difficult to provide an option for a separate search field.
As opposed to irrevocably dumbing things down for everyone.
Anyway, this pales compared to the dimming of everything in a
URL following the hostname. What could whomever possibly have
been thinking when he/she did that...?! I call this sort of
stuff "Linux disease" - meaningless, gratuitous tweaks done
just for the hell of it, while serious, show-stopping bugs
are left untouched.
