- gkop 5y agoI've heard omnibar used to describe the more general UX pattern of providing at a focal point a single freetext input that surfaces items across collections. It's a neat pattern because it's both pretty and can be useful. I'll take your word for it it came from Chrome's Omnibar, the timeline in my memory lines up.

- perihelions 5y agoTIL, thanks! I've added that word. (In my defense, even the support.mozilla.org docs themselves seem to avoid it; the one I linked only refers to it as "address bar").
- yoasif_ 5y agoAvoid awesomebar? That is a nickname - the correct term is the address bar. It has never been an "omnibar", however.
