Actually, entering _anything_ that looks like a FQDN should automatically bypass search in any browser. It’s been a long-standing pain of mine that when browsers merged the URL and search fields it became impossible to type “home.lan” (or .local, or .internal) and have it just work without stomping out http:// http:// in front.
- walrus01 2y agoAlso one of the reasons I seriously appreciate Firefox, because you can still have a dedicated search box to the right side of the URL entry field/address bar, and easily reach it by hotkey by command-K on MacOS or other similar shortcuts on Linux, Windows. The number of times I've typed some internal-only thing or raw IP address into a browser and had it go to a search page instead of the thing I want to talk to, I've lost track of in the past 15 years, and it's too damn high.
