Wife often does this. Home page has a search engine and the cursor defaults to the search term field. It's easier to just type in "google.com" and hit enter in the search field than to move the mouse cursor all the way up to the address bar.
krs360: a lot of Internet users (and I mean, like 30%) doesn't know what the address bar is for, and they just type whatever they want into Google. Some of them even think Google is the starting point of the Internet.
You'll even see people typing "Yahoo" into Google to get to their emails.

I am confused....
Why are facebook, bbc, etc the top rated searches? Why would people search for them? Why not just type in the address bar?
Am I using the internet wrong??!
