    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!

JaredB81- As the new Edge will replace and emulate IE for enterprises, it must respect the same GPO settings, including this one. Many enterprises use single-word names, for example, "intra" in our case.

 

Because it falls back to sending the word to the search engine if no host replies, it is not a problem, and something users have been used to for decades.

Agreed, we have used this policy for a long time, with IE, and when we rolled out Edge initially, this was the top requested design feature request, enabling single-word support for intranet sites.
