Using HTML, JS, or anything that can be loaded into the iOS browser, Im trying to find a way to modifiy the URL bar to show something other than the URL (title, text, anything).
From what I have read (its been asked on here a lot) and elsewhere it appears this is not possible.
I accepted this for a while until now as I have just seen on my iphone running 12.1 that a google search changes the URL bar to the searched term, even when you click in the URL bar, it just shows the searched term?
So what magic are they doing?

I dont think it is to do with google, it is to do with the iOS default search engine integration.
To change your search engine:
Settings -> Safari -> Search Engine
Shown in the picture below:
When I select bing as my search engine the same thing happens:
When I change to google:
So it is iOS integration
