Search from the browser bar...keep it simple

Don't go to the browser bar and type in "google.com" when you need to search for something online. Just type your search terms right into the browser bar. Most browsers' URL bars automatically double as an online search bar, and those that don't have plug-ins you can install to it so. Typically, you can decide which service it will use to carry out the search: Google, Bing, Yahoo! Search, DuckDuckGo, and so forth. You can set this as a preference in your browser.
