Even engineers do this. A couple of years ago I watched a colleague - a very talented software engineer - do a Google search.

He typed "google" into the search/URL bar and hit Enter.

This took him to a search results page, with Google as the first entry.

He clicked on Google.

This took him to the Google home page.

He entered his search query into the search box on the Google home page, and hit Enter.

Now he had the search results he wanted!



This can only happen on a browser where you haven't visited Google before, right?

On any "real" use-case scenario, typing "google" into the omnibar and hitting enter, should take you directly to google.com.

I can just type g and hit enter on my browser, and it still takes me to google.com
