…s say if you are in a homelab env or setup locoal env tools that need that so it doesnt default to duck duck go

This does seem like something that's worth fixing, but I wonder if this is the right solution. If we did this, every time you visited the go/ URL, you would have to tab down to the bottom to select this entry, right? It looks like once you manually type "http://go" once, autocomplete is already able to autocomplete the "go" part if you start typing "g". The problem is that when you press enter, the original autocomplete entry is ignored, and the searchbar interprets "go" as a search instead. I'm thinking that we could update that so that we track the original URL that generated the autocompletion, and when enter is pressed, load that instead of trying to parse the text in the searchbar. The effect would be that you would have to manually type "http://go" on the first visit, but on subsequent visits, just typing "go" would work and would be converted to "http://go" by autocomplete. If we did that, do you think that would sufficiently address the issue, or would it still be better to have something like this to handle the case where the name has never been typed before? |

This is a simple addition to always allow a bottom action to just try and search the url entered as if it was an actual domain. this is especially useful for homelab settups and custom domains in a network for big homelabers like me
main use case is go/ is a custom domain that redirects me to different websites on any device in my tailnet and in the vanilla min browser it just treats it as a web search.
its the bottom recommended option will now always be there for those of us that need it for first time min users so that we dont have to type https://go/ manually and such
this would also give those that have issues with localhost an option to use this to override any issues with the basic interpertation and not result in a search instead

Issues this would cover with this as an option and is how brave browser handles it in a round about way:
