What's the point of having that big search bar in the middle if it's unusable?

You click on it, start typing and it just transports whatever you're typing to the search bar at the top. So what's the point of having it if not usable?

I don't think I've ever used it on any browser that's had it.  Since combined URL/Search boxes came in that's what I've always used.  You can remove it from the Home and New Tab pages but it takes the logo and wordmark with it.
