In a web browser, the address bar (also location bar or URL bar) is a graphical control element that shows the current URL. The user can type a URL into the bar to navigate to a chosen website. In a file browser it serves the same purpose of navigation but through the file - system hierarchy. Many address bars offer features like autocomplete and a list of suggestions while the address is being typed in. This auto - completion feature bases its suggestions on the browser 's history. Some browsers have keyboard shortcuts to auto - complete an address. These are generally configured by the user on a case - by - case basis. Address bars have been a feature of web browsers since NCSA Mosaic.
