No, I can't believe that the URL box is used more than the search one. Thre must be an error or, more probably, a bias towards tech-savvy people. I've seen common people typing full URLs in the Google box.
- ch00 14y agoThe data is from FF4 beta. So I think you're right, these are not your average users.
- mbrubeck 14y agoYou're right about the bias. If you use the filters to view only data from self-identified "Beginner" users, then the address bar usage is significantly lower and the search bar usage is higher (but still not as high as the address bar).
- notJim 14y agoCould it be that people search using the URL box? It's the biggest, most familiar box, so maybe beginners users just type into it.
