Never understood why you’d keep a separate search bar next to the search bar

half out of habit.

But also I have search on the search feature disabled on the address bar so I'm not randomly sending search quires when I mistype a url.

I guess some of us just like to think the search bar and the address bar are conceptually different interface elements with different reasons to exist.
