Then give me the FB number.&lt;p&gt;I can get the Safari team to look at this, but I can&amp;#x27;t reproduce either behavior myself. Any other examples of bogus&amp;#x2F;unexpected autocomplete also welcome.&lt;p&gt;I looked at the FB# cited in the parent, but it doesn&amp;#x27;t have a specific example or a sysdiagnose. Since may of these things only reproduce for some users, we need all the data we can get to resolve these issues.</text></comment>

Personally, I still find the idea of a URL bar doubling as a search bar a bit disconcerting as it is. I expect specific behaviour from a URL bar. I type in an address and either it takes me to what I type or it can&amp;#x27;t find it.&lt;p&gt;This behaviour everyone&amp;#x27;s describing from safari would fill me with so much rage. That shit would drive me nuts. Having non existent addresses being interpreted as search queries is annoying enough, if my browser started deciding my searches were random web addresses I&amp;#x27;d lose my shit.</text></comment>
