Okay, this is going to sound stupid. May be someone would like to receive a "Merry Xmas and happy new year" or "Happy b'day" message from their lost loved ones. FB should give me an option to do that before i die. May be a checkbox somewhere in the settings.

I totally agree, but based on the reaction to this guys christmas cards after he died [1] this idea is not received well (which i dont understand). You are thinking about loved ones in the future by your request. I doube FB would go for it.

Half of it might be "Google"

In case someone down votes this because it looks like a stupid sarcastic throwaway: it's in fact quite likely.

Many people are unclear about how the input fields work and do type URLs or the names of sites into search pages, with google being the most common!

Totally true. Nearly all non techies I know use the address bar as a search bar, and once they reach Google in some way, they type the desired site name (not the URL) and click the first result in the list, which hopefully is what they wanted. I find this frustrating, but stopped any attempt to educate them to a correct use of browsers and search engines because there is simply no hope.

Quite likely. Even on chrome, people tend to type google which by default searched google on google :)
