When in non-full-screen mode, Safari lets me use the ⌘+| shortcut or View > Hide Toolbar to hide the URL and search bar, etc. However, when I'm in Full Screen mode, this option is greyed out. Is there any way I can hide it without exiting Full Screen?

In Safari 10.0.1 on macOS Sierra it is quite simple - you have to uncheck View > Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen to hide the toolbar.
Enter full screen mode, right-click anywhere around the address bar then click "Hide Toolbar" in the menu that appears.
Although next time you enter full screen mode the toolbar comes back.

3Be careful, because once you do this, the only way to get the bar back is to exit and then enter full screen mode again. Apr 19, 2012 at 22:24

Open console (⌥⌘C or Develop > Show Error Console), paste this code:
(function() {
var el = document.createElement('div'),
docEl = document.documentElement;
el.innerText = 'Go to fullscreen view';
el.setAttribute('style', 'position: fixed; top: 10%; left: 10%; padding: 30%; background: #000; color: #fff; opacity: .7; cursor: pointer;')
document.body.appendChild(el)
el.onclick = function() {
if (docEl.requestFullscreen) {
docEl.requestFullscreen();
} else if (docEl.mozRequestFullScreen) {
docEl.mozRequestFullScreen();
} else if (docEl.webkitRequestFullscreen) {
docEl.webkitRequestFullscreen();
}
document.body.removeChild(el);
};
})();
and click the black box.
You need to activate Developer-Tools for this solution. To enable Developer-Tools, go to Advanced, click "Show Develop menu in menu bar" at the bottom of the window.

@ralfix, your solution won't work since Webkit-based browser require function like this triggered by user action (via click event for example).– rgtkJul 20, 2015 at 10:11
