Can someone explain why this couldn't have been implemented purely client side and validating if what was entered was first even a valid hostname? Or were the DNS queries only run after they passed an initial check?
I think this is one of the key problems that emerged by merging the search functionality into the location bar. I still now always enable the separate search bar for Firefox and avoid running searches in the so-called Awesome bar. I still consider a search and host lookup very different operations in my mind.
