Edge v 115 and above breaks GoToIntranetSiteForSingleWordEntryInAddressBar GPO setting

In our enterprise of 15000 + workstations after Edge v115 (including Edge Beta 116) the setting we have deployed for going to an Intranet site by a single word is now Bing searching instead of navigating to the requested Intranet URL.

This is affecting @health services for all clinicians.

GPO setting for Edge is: GoToIntranetSiteForSingleWordEntryInAddressBar

Rollback to 114 fixes the issue, but I'm not keen to apply this to the fleet if MS can fix ASAP please!

Kelly_Y I note this was an issue some time ago that you escalated as per comments on page 3 of this discussion:

Policy needed: "Go to an intranet site for a one-word entry in the Address bar" - Page 3 - Microsoft Community Hub

Cheers.

  Thanks for the response Kelly, do we have any update on this issue? It is still impacting us on Version 115.0.1901.203

    Looking at the release schedule we're due for the 116 extended stable channel this week too, and Beta 116.0.1938.43 is still experiencing the same issue as 115.

    This is concerning as the stable channel (latest version) will be affected too!
