Policy needed: "Go to an intranet site for a one-word entry in the Address bar"

Update: The latest Dev build is out and its accompanying Dev policy file contains GoToIntranetSiteForSingleWordEntryInAddressBar, so this policy is ready for you to try out. 

Using gpedit.msc, you can find the policy under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge and it's Setting title reads, "Forces direct intranet site navigation instead of searching on single word entries in the Address Bar".

Now that you're able to test this, please test this out in your environments and let us know if this meets your needs.

I'm particularly interested in feedback on the following:

1. Does this policy satisfy the requirement originally stated in this thread?  If not, how can we improve it?
2. How does this policy interact with the other policies you enforce (for example, if you disable the default search provider or if you force deletion of history on exit as  described).
3. How your organization members respond to having this policy applied when they attempt to search for single-word entries or navigate to external websites with single-word domains (in environments where the default search provider is permitted and firewalls permit access to such domains).

Of course, I'd love to hear any other feedback you have related to this policy as well.

Thank you and hopefully this works for you this time 🙂
