Funny, I can’t even test this because I’d need to know another neat trick to get my browser to let me actually edit the URL.
Seems that Firefox on mobile allows editing the url for most pages, but on google search results pages, the url bar magically turns into a did-you-mean alternate search selector where I cannot see nor edit a url. Surprised but not surprised.
Sure, there’s a work around for this too, somehow. But I don’t want to spend my life collecting and constantly updating a huge list of temporary hacks to fix things that others have intentionally broken.

You can also have a bookmark with a dummy search activating it, so you can then type your search terms into the Google search field instead of into the address bar. Yes, it’s annoying that you can’t set it as the default on Google search itself.
