Address bar

Uncommon card · No. 115039

In a web browser, the address bar (also location bar or URL bar) is the element that shows the current URL. The user can type a URL into it to navigate to a chosen website. In most modern browsers, non-URLs are automatically sent to a search engine. In a file browser, it serves the same purpose of navigation, but through the file-system hierarchy. Many address bars offer features like autocomplete, and a list of suggestions that appear while the address is being typed in. This auto-fill feature bases its suggestions on the browser's history. Some browsers have keyboard shortcuts to auto-complete an address.
