Feature Request: Search bar acts like address bar

[colinslegacy]

It'd be nice if the search bar could act like the address bar like modern browsers, with the ability to search or go to a URL by default.

Right now I have it setup where the default behavior going to a URL, then I use a bang "!s" to search, but it'd be nice to be able to eliminate the bang and set a default search engine for search alongside being able to input URLs.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll get this implemented for the next release.

just piggybacking here, would this mean the search bar would include suggestions too when typing? Just wanted to reduce the suggestion noise but i wasn't sure this was EXACTLY what @colinslegacy was alluding to. If not, i'll open my own suggestion ;)

I think this feature request covering only opening sites if they are URL, to achieve modern browsers behavior, but not about providing any search suggestions.

For this feature request, yes I'm only referring to opening URLs. @ryaneford search suggestions would be a great idea as well, though.
