I find just putting the name into the toolbar and choosing the one you want. I guess some people like the idea so it is kinda good. Great post btw always learning new things from you and I've subscribed! I personally don’t really like the idea because it can send you to a website you might not be looking for.

It is a gray area of the net. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. I'll take the traffic I get when they type in candy without the .com. Just because I own the .com version of candy does not mean it should be the default. I like it when it is, but I think I am out of my bounds to demand it.

This is happening in more places than the address bar and it's going to continue to be a major issue in search.

The #1 position is getting richer, while #2 and below are getting poorer. I don't much like this solution they've provided - your example proved a point. "Oxford" is the name of the town where the famous university is, and I would think a page about that (e.g. Wikipedia) would be better than going to the university home page.

I find it useful. People are generally smart enough to use the search bar for searching and the address bar for going to a specific site. I doubt many people are going to be too upset about this other than domainers. This may be something new to the Google Toolbar, but it’s been the case on Firefox for as long as I can remember.
