well before we just started  typing stuff in and let heuristics and
search engines divine what we meant, we had urns. I will  not suggest
that we're going back there UI wise but the heuristics can get  more
expressive. this can be largely a UI issue today in chrome, if I want to
send my query to a particular application e.g. wolfram alpha I do "= "
and proceed.

UI grooming in no way prevents leakage. nor does it preclude you from
having to divine the intentions of the user.
