Uh huh. Because they'll lose their ability to tell if something is a search or a URL because of bang parsing, right?

But the URL changes from a search string to the URL of the results. A dedicated search bar retains what you last searched for. For example mine has "league of legends !w" at the moment. If I wanted to search on Startpage for that I just hit ctrl-k and change !w to !sp.
