Heck, I've seen people, on multiple occasions, load up a browser tab with the 'default' address of google.com, enter a url into the google search box (not the browser search/address box, the in-page google search box), and then proceed to click the result it gives them.

This is merely how Google becomes spellcheck. You don't need to memorize strings anymore, that is so industrial-age. </s>

At the very least, chrome new tab pages send your typing cursor to the Omnibox if you try to use the search box. Doesn't work if google.com is set as the new tab page.

I wasn't actually talking about people using Chrome.
