Not even using a search bar anymore. Some browsers do a search
whilst you are writing the hostname that you want to access. So for
facebook I just normally type "fac", twitter "twi" and it autocompletes.
For Google and wikipedia I do not even try to go to their web page. For
a search (google) I just type what I am looking for and that is all, for
wikipedia I do the same and 95% of the times the first search result is
the link to them.
