> I'd argue people know (even expect) they are searching Google when they type in a browser address bar. No one wants Bing search results when they type in the start menu.

NO!! I don't expect to be searching Google when I type something into the browser address bar. That is what the search bar is for.

Keyboard shortcut? Privacy concerns?

Honestly curious because I feel the search bar has long since been made redundant. The only people I see using it in the wild is my parents/their friends.
