- dhosek 4y agoThey had this at Chase when I worked there. As I recall discoverability was a problem though.
- Macha 4y agoA problem with this approach is browsers love to resolve it to http://go.com http://go.com, so Disney may be getting a feed of what Googlers are interested in.
- hn_go_brrrrr 4y agoI mean, have fun? You're gonna get most stuff like go/thor-design or go/zanzibar. It's not as if go links are go/our-disney+-competitor.
- seedless-sensat 4y agoI have found Chrome more willing to resolve go/foo as a web search. As a result, the Google autocomplete suggestions for terms like "go/m" are pretty amusing
- rnestler 4y agoInterestingly there are also several go/foo autocompletions on Duckduckgo :)
- rwiggins 4y agoI can’t speak for anywhere else, but I’m pretty sure Google uses a Proxy Auto Config script for go links, which should prevent that from happening in most cases. Disclosure: I work for Google.

- xyzzy_plugh 4y agoI've never seen a configuration that would set a default subdomain search on .com., so I find this hard to believe. Can you show me a browser that resolves like this?
- hrrsn 4y agoSomewhat related - Microsoft bought corp.com as back in the Windows 2000 days, "corp" was the default/example domain in AD - https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/04/microsoft-buys-corp-com-so-bad-guys-cant/ https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/04/microsoft-buys-corp-com-...
- isatty 4y agoNot just go, but lots of our internal stuff can be resolved that way. m/ c/ etc. you can get this for yourself by setting search domains.
- RockRobotRock 4y agoIntel had that when I worked there
- quantumcd 4y agoThey still do; it's goto/ though
- e63f67dd-065b 4y agoI was just there a few years ago, now it’s goto/ instead of go/. Maybe go/ still works, I never thought to check.
- otagekki 4y agoI had worked at a bank as an IT professional and it works wonders, until the browser tries to be smart and attempts a Google search
