In addition to what Gerv notes, there are also problems for browsers which
combine searching and navigating into one control (most of them these days,
and you can configure Firefox to do it although it's not the default UI).
 Users of such interfaces presumably expect that common words in their
language will result in searches, not navigations.

I'm not sure to what degree that kind of consideration is in-scope here.
