The Motive Web Design Glossary
address bar, address field
Inexperienced users often type website addresses into a search engine keyword field. This may be due to ISPs encouraging the use of gateway search tools rather than educating their audience as to web conventions. As a result it is wise to include your website address in homepage metadata.
The address bar is the input field at the top of the browser window that displays the location (URL) of the current webpage. The address bar can also be used to enter a new webpage location.
