It's desperately out of fashion now, but remember having one's toolbar in the mode of "icons and text"? Giving you both the buttons, and a little label under each like "New", "Open", "Save", etc. Why not just have that in this case, ie. a little "URL" label under the address bar and a "Search" label under the other one. Even if a phrase like "URL" is jargon to a newbie, once they've seen it up there for long enough in context with actual URLs they'll pick up a feel for it. That's how straightforward user education used to work. We all had to be shown and told, that this thing is called this, and that thing is called that, at some point. Finally when these aids are no longer needed, and one cares to shave a few pixels off their toolbar, they just right-click -> "Show icons only", and carry on in new-found independence and style. How did this simple sequence of learning get so deprecated. |

So in stead of putting a little "URL" label under the address bar, let's put a little "Address" label under the URL bar.
