Would it be possible to have something like this (additional pref), but only for searches that contain (at least one) dot? This would be useful because most commonly, searches without dots are not used as domains (except `localhost` which is handled separately), while searches containing dots could be commonly used as domains. Also, I don't know if it's just for me, but Firefox takes longer to "resolve" (try resolving but then fail and search instead) domains without dots (`for example `test`, which takes few seconds before redirecting to search) that domains with dots (for example `test.aaaaa`, which is redirected to search almost immediately).

What about whitelisting whole TLDs/suffixes? And along with this, API that allows extensions to modify the list of whitelisted TLDs would be quite useful, for example for extensions that provide support for domains like `.eth` or `.bit`. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263505 Title: Wishlist: add "use input as a search term" to "address not found" page To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/263505/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
