Policy needed: "Go to an intranet site for a one-word entry in the Address bar"
For enterprise a policy like the one in IE called "Go to an intranet site for a one-word entry in the Address bar" is very needed. As an enterprise we have a lot of intranet sites and services usi...
Thank you, ToMMeR, stesch79 and paf_skov for your feedback. I can appreciate those circumstances and your request.
We will look into adding a policy to make single-word queries navigate and I'll follow up on this thread with an update as soon as I have one.
Thanks again for giving us this important feedback and for describing your specific scenarios! It helps!Jared
Hi everyone,
Just a brief update that the search fallback behavior is now on by default (no command-line flag needed) if this policy is enabled in the Beta channel as Beta has reached version 81.
If you plan to deploy the Stable channel of Edge throughout your organization, this policy will include the search fallback behavior without any command-line flags necessary to enable it, when the Stable channel reaches version 81.
Please test this out in Beta and let us know if anything is not working as expected.
Thank you!

JaredB81 did this get reverted?
I had a request for this within my organisation and implemented expecting the search behaviour mentioned in the thread but it appears it is back to behaving like the original implementation.
Entering google changes the address bar to google/ and fails to google search instead.
entering whatisthemeaningoflife gives me a failed page rather than a search.
I checked the policy docs and even they make no mention of the search fallback. They still talk about single word searches failing.
Is this intended?
Edit: I think I've worked out why its not working, if its still working for everyone else. On a failed DNS request our orgs DNS responds with a custom response page. Will keep testing. I'll leave this here as a note that the docs (and ADMX description) have not been updated to reflect the search fallback.
