Firefox may soon display search results directly in the address bar

Mozilla is improving the search suggestions in Firefox. It wants to display search results in the address bar, aka inline results.

Traditional search suggestions in web browsers display relevant queries when you start typing something. Selecting the suggestion takes you to the results page of your preferred search engine. Firefox already does this, using Firefox Suggest. Mozilla wants to streamline this experience.

Instead of taking the user to the results page, Firefox will display the top result directly in the address bar as you type your query. Mozilla's blog highlights some examples, such as checking for flight details. It displays the time of departure, arrival, destination, the current status (on time or not), etc., without loading the search engine's page.
