- amelius 8y agoThat would be true if Siri and Spotlight were the main entry-point for users to start a web search, and I doubt that.
- saagarjha 8y agoFor many Safari users, it is the the main entry-point for searches.
- mattnewton 8y agoIt’s already a common user behavior to type your query right into the address bar, and that’s where this is in Safari. Spotlight is just the (confusing imo) branding
- JadeNB 8y ago> Spotlight is just the (confusing imo) branding Wait, isn't Spotlight the name for Apple's local search (and maybe it's now used for whatever kind of unified search iOS likes to do?), whereas Safari's feature of treating things entered into the address bar that don't look like URLs as search queries is just a common redirection feature (analogous to the Firefox Awesomebar/Omnibar/whatever it's called now) that has nothing in particular to do with Spotlight?
