I was quite displeased since quite some time ago that almost all web browsers, whenever I feed URL into location bar, do not go to that URL, but instead do the search with the search line that is that URL first. Not only when URL doesn't exist (for which case I too prefer not darn search but just an error message "URL doesn't exist"). Why would be that? What purpose does the search serve.
I'm curious, what web browsers do this? I can't replicate it with Firefox.
