Let me clarify: I want to see "lemmy" in the URL bar if I search it and can copy it instead of https://www.google.com/search?q=lemmy

Apparently I wasn't clear enough in my other post. When I focus on the URL bar on a search page with either CMD L or by clicking it, I want to be able to just copy the phrase "lemmy" instead of having to select the text from https://www.google.com/search?q=lemmy. If I type search queries with spaces in them, the spaces are replaced with +s in the URL so I can't easily copy them.

That's the URL bar, so there's nothing you can do to "reverse" the search. It show your location on the internet, not what you searched

What you can do is to use the search bar, which retains the search until cleared. To get the search bar, right-click on the header > Customise the header > add a search bar widget where you want it
