Im on my cell now, so I cant verify, but is it not possible to do ?<query> like in chrime? You have to excuse the browsers now that the consept TLD has been watered down so much. How would you want them to do it? Whitelist of valid TLDs in the browser? What if a new TLD is released and the users browser for policy reason is not autoupdated? The domain name is not supposed to work? No, it basicly has to be like it is now.

Chrome and Firefox both manage to search for system.web if I type that into the address bar. This is a solved problem, everywhere except for Edge. Edit: It looks like only Chrome and Safari have figured out how to do this.

  Am I misunderstanding you, because I just typed "system.web" into my FF address bar (not search box) and it gave me a "can't find the server at system.web" error as I'd expect?

  If you type system.web into the address bar, Firefox gives you a list with 2 choices: a) Visit system.web b) Search google for system.web

  --This works for me on build 1511 for edge... Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I can search for anything as long as its not recognized as a TLD. It appears to have the same functionally as chrome in regards to searching vs. browsing.-- EDIT: Ok, I missed the part where you switched the search to google, now it fails completely, sad.

  Why should it search for it rather than try to connect to it? It's a valid address. And ".web" is an assigned Top-Level Domain as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.web https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.web

Keyboard shortcut tip for anyone who uses search a lot: Ctrl+K. Focuses the search bar on Firefox, and focuses the address bar and replaces it with "?" on Chrome.

  Alternatively F6

    F6 focuses the address bar, so that's slightly different, although obviously a lot of people also just use the address bar to search. And Ctrl+L is then again the alternative to F6.

      Alt+D will have the same functionality as CTRL+L with less finger strain.
