Removing Google's Search Bar from Safari

The browser wars have become a rather hot topic in the Mac community as of late especially with Google's newly released Beta version of Chrome.  I've been using Chrome as my browser of choice for about 6 months now, and I just recently decided to give Safari a second chance.  One thing I loved in Chrome was the dual functionality of the address bar as an address bar and a search bar.  It makes for a clean interface, and I wanted to simulate this look on Safari.  I found that the Safari plugin Glims allows you to input keyword so your favorite search engines can be accessed through the address bar, removing the necessity of having Google's search bar in the browser.  After hours of searching, I'm proud to say I've found the solution to the seemingly permanent search bar.  All you need to do is download this and watch the video.

Enjoy!

Much help. Although I would really like to be able to do what Google Chome can do and search stuff in the address bar, thanks anyway.

If you have the Glims plugin for Safari, you can do that. I use my Safari address bar as both a search and URL input.
