well there is a very simple reason why this is happening.

Due to the default search behaviour of the your IE Browser.

If you want to use Address Bar as search box, all what you need to do is

1) Click on Search Button on your web browser.

2) You will notice that there is a option to "Customize" your search - click on it.

3) When you click on "Customize" or "Custom" search option, a new windo will popup and under that window look at the bottom - you will see another button that reads "Auto Search Settings"

4) Using the drop down option, you will be able to select any search engine of your choice, and you can just type in any keyword in address bar and you will notice that address bar will work at search field within google or any other tool bar.

I am using Google as my search option for address bar, so when I type in google I get [google.com...]

-------------------------------------------

Now there is a little trick here If you plan to search for keywords like search engine positioning/placement/optimization, you might actually wanna type in search search engine positioning or search search engine optimization in the address bar. Cuz first search is kinda considered as a search command. You are not required to type in "search" before any search, however if you search term's first word is "search" then you need to use it twice.

Hope this helps.
