Every search bar looks like a URL bar to users

But it's not phone number vs phone book. It's phone number vs automated operator that will connect you where you are trying to go.

I am technical and I often just search instead of URL just because it requires less precision.

Google is just DNS with a few extra steps.

Ok, it's going to find a book on the shelf by its author/title or dewey decimal number, vs. looking it up in the card catalog by subject (and then going to the shelf).

That should appeal to the older crowd.
