New issue 4683 by uranium: Allow completion of foo->foo.com instead of  
search by default
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4683

Chrome Version       : 0.3.154.9
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
   Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
      Safari 3:
     Firefox 3: OK
          IE 7:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type "foo" in the URL bar.
2. Hit enter.
3. The browser does a search on your chosen search engine for "foo".
Standard old-school behavior in other browsers was to try foo.com, then
fail if it didn't exist.  Later, Firefox did an "I'm feeling lucky" search,
but you could turn it off if you wanted to.  There's no way to get this
behavior in Chrome, so I do a lot of unintended searches.  It's annoying,
it wastes my time, and it tells Google a lot about my browsing that I'd
rather not share with them.  If I want to search, I'm perfectly capable of
doing so myself, either with a search keyword, the search box, hitting down
arrow to select "Search for "foo" on Google", etc.

What is the expected result?


What happens instead?
