You'll be surprised at how many non-hackers google for it. People even google for "ebay.com", and domain names rather than typing it in the browser URL bar.


And don't forget that Firefox sends address bar input that doesn't look like an URL to Google's I Feel Lucky search. That's why a significant part of the Mozilla Foundation's income comes from Google.


I think you'd be surprised at how many hackers enjoy the conveniences of Google search for a known url.
