I meant exactly the same as far as an average user is concerned - you never have to use the search box (I remove it), you can just put search terms in the main box and it'll use the configured provider.

I will admit FF is a little worse at confusing search terms for a URL on occasion, but that's a minor annoyance at best.

It wasn't the annoyance I was commenting on, but rather the privacy implications of combining the two bars when what you would type in one of them is typically sent off to some search engine somewhere in real time.
