Teach Google Chrome to understand custom TLD
According to this bug posted: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=30636
Google will not be fixing the issue you have. The only method should be to use http://example.nt
I don't see why that won't work.
Fortunately there is a fairly simple workaround that doesn't involve code.
- Go to Settings
- Manage search engines...
- Add a new search engine and use these as the 3 values:
a. Default
b. %s
c.http://%s/
- Make default
Similarly to simmbot, I've created a search engine with a keyword of 'l' (my local TLD is .l
). The URL is http://%s.l
. Then, I simply type "l mysite" in the address bar and it takes me to mysite.l.
Alternatively, you can simply add a slash at the end, and Chrome won't consider it a search. (See https://stackoverflow.com/a/7877750/974981)
