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:
“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our necessities but of their advantages.”
—Adam Smith (1723–1790)
“Think ... before the words—the vows are spoken, which put yet another terrible bar between us.... I call upon you in the name of God ... to be sincere with me—Can you, my Annie, bear to think I am another’s?”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
