Get Google Chrome to stop auto-filling the address bar? It's annoying!

[Ian]

So Google Chrome keeps on completing what I am typing in the address bar, and it is ANNOYING!

I attached a picture of what is happening. When I type weather, I want to be able to hit enter and search for weather... But noooo, it adds .com to it, and then makes me go to weather.com, which I do not want.

Just hit backspace then enter lol

Extra .1s, but it's worth it from when its useful.

Whats more annoying is when you type in localhost...

[Ian]

You mean like how Google Chrome thinks you are searching for localhost?

Yeah, but when that happened a little bar at the top appeared and said "Did you mean http://localhost/?"

That one annoys me a lot. There should be a custom rule in Chrome that auto-suggests http://localhost/ every time.

I still haven't found anything that stops this annoying "feature." .-.

I'm not having that issue. When I type weather in the address bar, the first option that comes up is to search Google for Weather.

Which version of Chrome are you using? I've got 5.0.375.125 beta...

[Ian]

Go to weather.com first, the actual site. You will then have that issue.

soren121 said the same thing, then after I told him to go to weather.com and try again he said "Oh, now I get it."

One question... Why on earth do you have Bing Search in Chrome?

[Ian]

Because I can
