Merging Search & Address Bar not always faster
For me, it's a big mess. I've actually started using Firefox for my research because the search and addressing are separate. That or going explicitly to the website where I want to do the search (Google, Bing, Yahoo or Wikipedia).

The author says it's because we can do away with another toolbar. I dumped the only extra toolbar (Google) years ago. That was just after disabling search from my address bar. When the search box appeared next to the address box (and I noticed I could get there with Ctrl+E), my experience got a lot faster.

Now, I just need to learn the keystroke to get me into the box. Ctrl+E doesn't seem to do it in FF.
