Brief summary
Display only the search query in the address bar instead of the URL (but only on search results page of the configured search engine).
Details:
Safari has a neat feature where if you search for something from the address bar, it will display the results page but instead of having the search engine URL it's still showing the typed query, so you can hit Cmd+L again, type another query and hit enter. And also I think having just the query is nicer than having the search engine URL.
Notes:
- in Safari when the address bar is showing the search query (not the URL), when you focus the address bar (cmd+L) and do cmd+c to copy the text it will actually copy the page URL (like https://duckduckgo.com/?q=kagi&t=osx&ia=web).
- in Safari, if you open a new tab and paste the URL of a search results page (like https://duckduckgo.com/?q=orion) it will hide the URL and just show the query parameter "orion".
- if the query string in the URL has + in it (like https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hello+world&t=osx&ia=web), when the query is shown in the address bar it is shown as "hello world"
