I find just putting the name into the toolbar and choosing the one you want. I guess some people like the idea so it is kinda good. Great post btw always learning new things from you and I’ve subscribed!

It is a gray area of the net. I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer. I’ll take the traffic I get when they type in candy without the .com. Just because I own the .com version of candy does not mean it should be the default. I like it when it is, but I think I am out of my bounds to demand it.

This is happening in more places than the address bar and it’s going to continue to be a major issue in search.

The #1 position is getting richer, while #2 and below are getting poorer.

I don’t much like this solution they’ve provided – your example proved a point. “Oxford” is the name of the town where the famous university is, and I would think a page about that (e.g. Wikipedia) would be better than going to the university home page.

I find it useful. People are generally smart enough to use the search bar for searching and the address bar for going to a specific site. I doubt many people are going to be too upset about this other than domainers.
