Methinks you ignore the fact that the easiest way to look something up on, say, Amazon or Wikipedia is: CMD-Tab to browser, CMD-T for new tab, CMD-OPT-F (or CMD-L Tab) to the Google field in the browser toolbar, type what you're looking for, then click on the obvious Amazon or Wikipedia link on the resulting Google page. Search hasn't gotten less frequent. It's just so fast that it's faded into ubiquity. I find it faster than typing "wikipedia.org" directly into the address field, even with autocomplete. (The problem is that, once wikipedia loads, you have to navigate to its own search widget and enter a term, then click on the resulting page. And that ignores the very real possibility that Google is better than Wikipedia's own search function. Meanwhile, I could solve all of this by setting up a Firefox keyword, but that only works in the browsers where I've set it up, and it only works for those who know what they are and remember to use them.)
