New issue 21196 by paradoxmo: Search/address box entry ending in .local  
should be considered address, not search
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21196

Chrome Version       : 4.0.207.0 (25570)
URLs (if applicable) :
OS version               : 10.4.8
Behavior in Safari 3.x/4.x (if applicable):
Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable):
both NA since they don't have a unified address bar
Behavior in Chrome for Windows:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type a hostname ending in .local into the search/address box

What is the expected result?
Chromium should offer to pull up http://hostname.local by default
Rationale: Bonjour/avahi conventions are increasingly used on all networks,
not just networks with Macs, due to the popularity of iTunes and various
pieces of Apple hardware.

What happens instead?
Chromium only offers to search "hostname.local"

Suggestion for generalized fix:
Consider entries ending in .local or any domain entries in /etc/resolv.conf
to be real http addresses by default, not searches.
