Policy needed: "Go to an intranet site for a one-word entry in the Address bar"
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
ToMMeR, the cert fix is now checked into both Edge 81 and Edge 80. You should be able to validate with both Canary and Dev channels.
To test the fix, please manually add the command line flag “--enable-features=msAllowFallbackSearch” to your Edge shortcut.
Please let us know if the fix meets your needs.
Thank you very much!
Jared
JaredB81 I have tested with build 81.0.381.0 in the DEV channel and can confirm that it works as expected now.
When you type the hostname of a website that redirects to https and doesn't have trusted certificate Edge correctly stays on the site and does not do a search engine search, just like expected.
When you type a single word (whether it is including dash, dots or no special characters) that does not exist as a hostname, you briefly (maybe half a second or less) see the "unresolved hostname" page and then you are redirected to a search engine search.
I think the way this works is acceptable 
I am looking very much forward to this build reaching production - this is the first build we would want to implement in our organization.
Can you please let us know which build number this would be included in by default (without the command line flag)?
I completely agree with Steve Whitcher. This is the first time i have experienced this easy access to developers at Microsoft, that customer wishes have been accepted, prioritized and implemented this quickly.
So a big thank you to JaredB81 and your team for this!
