I write my searches in the search bar but they appear in the address bar. I deeply despise this. HOW CAN I ONCE AND FOR ALL PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING?

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience. The team is working on implementing a modern embedded search UI for the New Tab.

It was decided to remove the legacy code to clean up space for the new one, but that decision was canceled due to accessibility reasons. You can expect the legacy UI to (temporarily) return in the nearest future.
