searchTerms

personally I do not use the urlbar other than anything except a dead static form field (no distracting drop downs, suggestions, nothing - it is dead to me). That said I can search from it.

info

is gated behind browser.urlbar.showSearchTerms.featureGate (for now)
pref: browser.urlbar.showSearchTerms.enabled
setting: Search > SearchBar > Use the address bar for search and navigation > Show search terms instead of URL .,..
- note: requires Search > SearchBar > Use the address bar for search and navigation to be enabled
- ^ e.g. I use Add search bar in toolbar instead

What does it do? I replaces the URL in the address bar with the search term. It's not a big deal to me. You know the search engine you landed on, but it does obscure information, and you can't copy the URL even when clicking it in. I get the simplicity of it for users, and the space in adroid, but this is not necessary on desktop. I do not see it as a privacy issue TBH
