An address bar (also location bar or URL bar) is a feature in a web browser that either shows the current URL or accepts a typed URL that the user wishes to go on to. Most address bars offer a list of suggestions while the address is being typed in. Auto-completion bases its search on the browser history. Browsers have keyboard shortcuts to auto-complete an address, and these are generally configured by the user on a case-by-case basis.

Famous quotes containing the words address and/or bar:
“There’s nothing that makes you so aware of the improvisation of human existence as a song unfinished. Or an old address book.”
—Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
“The bar ... is an exercise in solitude. Above all else, it must be quiet, dark, very comfortable—and, contrary to modern mores, no music of any kind, no matter how faint. In sum, there should be no more than a dozen tables, and a clientele that doesn’t like to talk.”
—Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)
