Change Touch Bar Search Button Text

Project Member Reported by spqc...@chromium.org, May 30 2017

Issue description

The button currently says "Search or type URL"

We should get rid of the term "URL"

I thought the plan was "Search or type URL", per  Issue 675254 , c#16? Part of the problem being the string is too long (e.g. in some localizations)?

According to bettes@, UI is deprecating the term "URL". Here's a screenshot of what it looks in ENG. It looks fine here. Although there is the concern where in other languages it might push out the other buttons

What happens right now if you add the Home button? What happens if you try it in, for example, German?
If the search button is too wide, one of the buttons will get bumped off. We can set the priority of the buttons.

Anyway, the main issue is that the term "URL" should be deprecated. I'll change the description and we can figure what the new text should be

If we're going to make a change we should make it for M61 and not try to cherry-pick it back to M60. I don't think it's acceptable for this string to translate to something long and push other buttons off the Touch Bar (I also think this will happen with the English version if the user's Home button is present).

Over to Shimi to hold until we have a coordinated plan to remove URL from Chrome. The same string is present in the search box on the NTP, the first run omnibox bubble, and a few other places. Updating the language can be orthogonal to the touchbar launch.
Triage: Is this work still planned?
