WebView is already capable of both navigating to and searching for text in the address bar.
However, there is no interface for this at all, and the user has to know the Ctrl+Enter hotkey to search.
I propose to improve this in the following ways:

  1. Add automatic analysis of the entered text, and if it is an address (there is . and no space) - navigate to address when pressing Enter, otherwise - search.
  2. Add a search button to the side of the address bar that would search even if the entered text is recognized as an address.
  3. It might also be worth adding a button to navigate to an address even if the entered text is not recognized as an address.

The current Enter and Ctrl+Enter hotkeys are kept, but the search process will be much more convenient for users unfamiliar with them.
