hardly surprising results: software developers have to make their products as easy and effortless to use as possible, but unfortunately that means people never have to find out whats happening. They just learn to click on a thing, type in a box and the magic of computrons does the rest.

@jshaw6000 Chrome is not a search engine. It's just that you can directly open up Google Search engine results using keywords in the address bar. There is a BIG difference between a search engine and a browser. And the direct search facility is available in FF too.

No wonder IE is the most popular browser around. If people would learn just a little bit about browsers then Microsoft would have to improve IE a lot and it would probably become usable.
