The input in the Link UI is both a search box and/or a means to directly add a link (e.g. www.wordpress.org).

However, if the user types in something that conforms to the heuristic for a URL then we should switch out the icon to be a keyboard icon. This is intended to provide an additional affordance to confirm to the user that they are currently directly adding a URL rather than searching.
