Do you have any suggestions to this effect? Not a rhetorical question, 
but genuinely interested. What could be easier then just typing what 
you're looking for and pressing enter? We already have a tooltip 
explaining that.

Would it perhaps be an idea to relabel the 'Go' button to 'Search', and 
performing the same action when clicked as when the user had pressed 
enter after entering keywords? Only when something that looks like a 
valid URL was entered, the label would change to 'Go'.

I know, I know, changing button labels is generally not a good idea, but 
maybe just in this case it could work...

regards,
