The nice thing about the separate search box is the corresponding list of available search engines.
- Hovertruck 16y agoI much prefer Chrome's approach, where it remembers sites you've visited that have a search bar (IMDB for example). If I start typing 'im' and press tab it changes into a search box for that site.
- albedoa 16y agoCan you explain what's nice about that (compared to alternatives)?
- shrikant 16y ago1. I can drop-down the list of available search engines and see what's available, without having to remember any key-words to do the searches. 2. (and this is the killer feature for me) If a particular search engine is selected (say, IMDB), I can right-click on any word on a page, and one of the context menu options is "Search IMDB for <selection>..." Also, horizontal real-estate is not much of a concern on a wide-screen monitor - how much of the URL would I really want to see..?
