I would be surprised if this is not a Dup.

1) I agree with your compromise.
2) I agree that some people might prefer a 'List Result Search'

I prefer the existing interface in which a search term in the URL bar
triggers the 'Single Result' search. For example, typing in 'Gentoo'
and pressing return brings me to http://www.gentoo.org/ (without
changing the URL bar, BTW), something which is not readily achieved
any other way.

I somehow doubt that your proposal is really an improvement - you
can compare with using the Google Bar just to the right of the URL 
bar - which does give the results that you are looking for.
