Local Dad Still Refers To Google Chrome Address Bar As The Omnibox

MODESTO, CA — In a new article appearing in WIRED, it has come to light that local dad Keith Taylor still insists on calling the Google search bar by its technical name, "omnibox." This revelation has left his family both amused and baffled.

The article highlights the wonders of this trademarked feature, but focuses heavily on Taylor's tone, which is always delivered with the matter-of-fact expertise of someone who supposedly works in San Francisco alongside top Google employees.

"You want to know what's for dinner, but you don't have the recipe for a Béchamel sauce because we're out of Chef Boyardee? Easy. Just look in the omnibox," Taylor reportedly told his son, as if conducting a masterclass in digital cuisine.

"He goes on and on like this," said his wife, Barbara. "But he pronounces ‘on’ really short, like ‘ahn’ or something, and then he always offers to fix the wireless router even though no one asked. Because that's just what a person who says 'Ohm-nuhh-box' does.

Sources confirmed that Taylor operates under the assumption that everyone refers to it as the omnibox, and not just computer industry insiders with decades of experience lugging around 486s with modem speeds that were faster than their dial-up connections.

At publishing time, Taylor was attempting to convince Barbara that she didn’t need to call pest control because he could easily craft a homemade bug bomb by just plugging some things he read online into the omnibox.
