Half of it might be "Google"
- gumby 9y agoIn case someone down votes this because it looks like a stupid sarcastic throwaway: it's in fact quite likely. Many people are unclear about how the input fields work and do type URLs or the names of sites into search pages, with google being the most common!
- tehlike 9y agoQuite likely. Even on chrome, people tend to type google which by default searched google on google :)
- squarefoot 9y agoTotally true. Nearly all non techies I know use the address bar as a search bar, and once they reach Google in some way, they type the desired site name (not the URL) and click the first result in the list, which hopefully is what they wanted. I find this frustrating, but stopped any attempt to educate them to a correct use of browsers and search engines because there is simply no hope.
