They have added search features to the URL bar. And you can remove the search bar if you no longer want it. However many people prefer to use the search bar. For example if I am googling for "System.IO" how does the browser know that's a search and not a URL, hence I put it in the search bar.

Do you prefer not having search suggest, or sending all your URLs to your search engine? Because with a unified bar, you have to pick one or the other.
