Normally you can type in search queries in the main address bar. However, if the query contains a colon, like in "site:mozilla.org bugs", this does not work. I forget this every time, but ok, I can understand why.
However, when you copy this "site:mozilla.org bugs" from the address bar to the search bar, it gets urlencoded automatically. So I obtain "site:mozilla.org%20bugs". I find it very surprising (and annoying) that what I see is not what I copy.
I'm sure there are use cases in which it makes sense, but everytime I forget about this behaviour and get caught by it again...

Even in continental Europe (Netherlands, Germany), sizes of bike wheels (not just unicycles) are measured in inches. In inches, they are a rounded number because they are produced like that, and converting to cm would give an annoying number to work with.
Same thing holds for sizes of monitors.

I can't exactly provide GPS measured coordinates for corners of buildings, especially for conjoined addresses. How do I know if my data is "good enough?"
In most places, Bing data is reasonably accurate. We have permission from Microsoft to trace from Bing, so you can just enter building outlines by tracing them. I think 99% of buildings come from Bing imagery rather than from GPS logs.
