Here’s How to See Full URLs in Safari’s Smart Search Bar

MacTip
Written By

By default, Safari on the Mac hides full Web addresses—technically known as URLs—from you, showing just the domain name in the Smart Search field at the top of the window. If you click in the field or press Command-L, the full URL appears, but power users may prefer to see the full URL all the time. To turn it on permanently, go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and next to Smart Search Field, select “Show full website address.”
