How to make address bar behave like search bar? I mean SMART search, as it implemented in Chrome (very comfortable for users)!
For example when I type a word in search bar it begin to give suggestions from search engine, so DON'T HAVE TO TYPE THE WHOLE SEARCH PHRASE!!! The same behavior is in Google Chrome address bar. So in Chrome address bar and search bar are combined into one which is very comfortable for users. Here in Firefox you have two different bars which is meaningless. I used Chrome before, and usually by force of habit type in address bar to search something and have to type the whole phrase there to start search. It's very stupid and make using the address bar for searching useless. Screenshots attached. So, don't we have any add-on or option to merge or combine the bars or to implement smart search in address bar? Thanks.

Thanks. Foobar is the add-on I have searched for. Only Firefox add-on search is very stupid thing.
Firefox add-on website is another project that have a lot to learn from Chrome Extensions website!
