It turns out that the address bar of the browser and the search box in the website are confused

Web browsers generally have an 'address bar ' that displays the address of the web page you are currently browsing or that you enter the URL when navigating to any web page. On the other hand, some websites have a search box for searching information on the site. It's two completely different things, but it's been pointed out that many users don't understand the difference.

Technology enthusiast Terence Eden pointed out. Eden shows the result of typing 'https: //' in the search box on Amazon's web page as a reason to think 'users may not know the difference between the address bar and the search box'. .. Originally, the product name and model number are entered here, but for some reason URLs unrelated to Amazon are also displayed as suggestions.

Almost the same with 'https:'. These search candidates are said to learn and display the content entered by the user, indicating that there is a person who entered an irrelevant URL in the search box.

'The lesson to be learned from this is that'users don't understand interfaces, computers don't understand users', and big data is based on the assumption that users are behaving irrationally. It means that it has been done. '
