Don't want to search from Address Bar

[Guest]

Ultimately, my goal is to type "google" in the address bar and have the
Explorer just GO THERE.

What it WAS doing is when I typed "google" it would bring up a search page
with all the results for anything containing "google". Then, I checked the
option in Explorer to not search from the address bar. Now when I type
"google" I get page can not be found because it completes "google" as
"http://google".

HOW, oh HOW do I get it to wise up and put the little "www's" and ".com's"
on my address???????

Hi,
If you hit Ctrl+Enter after typing in google, IE should fill in
www.google.com.

Or try:
Search from the Address bar >>> Just go to the most likely site.

Hope this helps,

If your default search provider is Google you could just enter
question mark (?) find, or go with the search terms you intend
to use in Google.

A related feature is to create a search template, give it an Address bar
command name (e.g. g or google if you want to type that much each time
you use it <w>) and then use that. TweakUI has a convenient method of
creating and maintaining such Address bar shortcuts.
