Search Google or Type a URL” is the default words or suggestions that you see in your address bar (also known Omnibox for its multipurpose functionality) of a browser. This appears before you type in the word/words or URL you are trying to search.
Instead of “search Google, type a URL”, you might see it as “search Google, type a URL”. However, the import is the exact same. You will need to enter the words you want to search on the address or search bar and then click either enter or enter the link to the specific website you want to access using the web browser (such a chrome).
Although there are many websites you can access, such as via social media platforms and apps, these two options are the most popular. Search Google or type a URL to search for the information that you want.
This piece asks: Which one of the two paths to a website is better? To get to the desired website, one can either type the name and click enter or copy the URL straight into the browser address or search bar.
Yes, it doesn’t matter what way you use, you will get results. But there are subtle variations that you should consider. These subtle variations can help you decide whether to search Google, or type a URL. Let’s look at what the pros and cons are of either searching Google or typing in a URL.
Search Google Option
Search engines were designed to allow you to quickly access information by simply tapping your screen or clicking a button. There are many websites, mails, photos, and other information that you can access online. Web indexing refers to the use of a search engine or other means to find and access websites.
To use this option, you will need to enter the keyword or site name into your browser’s Search bar. This option is ideal for those who don’t know what URL address to use or can’t remember the URL address. You simply need to type the name of the site or a keyword that is closely related into the address bar in your web browser. Once you have done this, the search engine starts to work. Now you’ll need to search through the results page of the search engine to find one that answers your query and leads you to the website you want.
It is best to know the exact URL of your desired site before you start searching for search engines. Just type the URL and you will find the desired website. Google searches can be slow and take up more time. Before you can find the website you’re looking for, you would need to load two or more pages. It can be time-saving, energy-saving and efficient to type a URL into the search field or search bar.
Using the Type in a URL’ Option
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. It is the address of a resource. It is the link you see in the address bar, search box, or on a website.
As we mentioned earlier, this option works best if you have the exact combination words and phrases that make up the URL.
Just copy or paste the exact URL into your browser’s address box (now known by Omnibox), then click Enter. If the site is still open, it will automatically open. This is an easy way to gain access to any site you are interested in, and it’s not like the search Google option. You may not be able see the website that you’re searching for in the search results because the site was not high up in the search engine optimization index. This means that you may need to search through many search results, or use more specific keywords to find the website you are looking for.
It’s not difficult to enter a URL while searching for a website. Even if you don’t have the complete URL, you can enter the shortened form and hit the Enter key to get to the website.
The best way to find specific information on a website is to type the URL into the search bar and then the keywords.
Do this quick experiment
First test: Choose a topic. Next, open a new Chrome tab and type what you want. It’s not a keyword.
Testing 2: Now, open a new tab in Chrome. Type in the URL for the site you believe will lead you to your topic.
Compare the results. The results will be different for Test 1 and 2. Test 1 will result in a search page with many links that point to the best answer Google search has to your query, while Test 2 will return a search page that only includes the URL you have provided.
How can this be of help to your website?
You should do keyword research to make sure your links are visible when someone searches for what you sell or do. It is impossible to rely on someone searching your website for a specific keyword in today’s internet world. You can rank for as many phrases as you like to increase your chances to be found by visitors who are in a buying mood.
