   Because I DON'T WANT my browser to treat the url field as search engine   
   prompt!   
   If I type the name of a device in my home LAN to the url field, I   
   want to connect to that device, NOT to a search engine in the web.   
   And if I mistype something in the url, I don't want to wait for a search   
   engine.   
   There's the search applet on the home display of my phone, and I can   
   also type duckducgo.com to the url field if I want to initiate a search   
   from a browser.
