Often when writing I want to dig up a reference to link the reader to it. This is stupidly broken in Safari. To set off a search, you just put the search term instead of the URL in the address bar.
Double using the URL bar as the search bar is tolerable enough. Chrome does it fine.
But if you want to cut and paste the URL, that is not possible in current versions of Safari. I usually just reload the page. People have written bookmarklets and such to get around it. But it's an insane misfeature and it has persisted through several versions of Safari.
Just another small example of Apple software stepping on serious users to make life easier for novices.
