I don't know, I'm still firmly in the camp that the URL bar and search bar should be separate. When I'm typing in the URL bar, I expect it to attempt to resolve and request whatever I typed in. If I wanted to search, I'd search. This has caused annoyance with some single-word DNS names not working and performing a search instead. I'm still not entirely sure why some words will do DNS resolving and some don't.

My argument was that AMP pages have a second url bar under the real url bar OR they have a fake url in the real url bar (see the new signed "Real URL" AMP pages system where the real address will be a google cdn url but the browser will instead show a different url then where it fetched it.

> great from the point of view of usability

I disagree. I really, really hate when browsers interpret stuff typed into the URL bar as anything other than a URL. For me, that degrades usability.
