I like Vimium a lot, but I find it a bit irritating that during surfing, I still have to use Strg+L to navigate to a new website or even to do a quick Google search. What I'd really like to have is some kind of ultimate navigation bar, as it is part of [gleeBox](http://thegleebox.com/), for example. It should have the following simple features:

* navigate to a web page
* search on a user-defined web page

If it could automatically whether the entered string is an URL without `http://` in front (using heuristics to detect TLDs), it would be even better. I am willing to implement this if more people are interested in it, but I first wanted to make sure that no such functionality exists yet in some of your many forks.
