Had a call with [:verdi], some additional requirements:

Not just topic specific, but non default general search engines also should search for an url instead of loading it. Also should change the prompt for those as well: in case the general search engine is selected, the text should be changed from Search or enter address to "Enter search terms".

Also should change the prompt for those as well: in case the general search engine is selected, the text should be changed from Search or enter > address to "Enter search terms".

Actually can we make that "Search the web" please (this is what they use on desktop)?
