Try to go to a domain when query ends with a slash

URLs that end with a / should automatically be identified as a URL, even if the TLD isn't in the list.

Or, it should make a DNS query to see if it is indeed a URL or not.

eirk Didn’t expect handshake users there

Add weird or custom domains (based on for example DNS redirect) such as http://c/ or http://mail/, or even go-link (such as Tailescale’s: https://tailscale.com/blog/golink/).

Chrome and Firefox support it well after ‘learning’ (ie type in http://go/ once and go/x and go/y should start working fine). Safari always requires a trailing slash to work (go/x/ or go/y/).

I use these shortcuts extensively instead of bookmarks: m/ opens my webmail, c/ my calendar, go/some-doc opens a google doc, etc.

I cannot get this to work in Orion and always defaults to a search in Kagi.

Steps to reproduce:
Let's say I have a resolvable by DNS local TLD (*.lan) with a domain test.lan, which resolves fine via local DNS.
As .lan is not a well-known gTLD, the browser tries to search the domain with the default search engine. To circumvent this, you have to either prepend http(s) before the domain or add a slash at the end (domain.lan/), this works fine in major browsers like safari and chrome.
The second approach doesn't work in Orion, but is way quicker and easier.
Please make this work

Expected behaviour:
Domains terminated with a slash are not being searched, rather treated as URLs.

I'd just like to add my support for this issue - currently trying to move over to Orion full time now and this is slowing me down, I must admit. The trailing slash approach seems sensible to me, as this is what we do in other browsers?

Adding more support to this issue. While Orion seems to remember the URL "server.home.lan/" after an initial entry of "http://server.home.lan/", I expect it to resolve "newServer.home.lan/" on the first try, without manual typing of the protocol.

This behavior is making it challenging for me to use Orion out of the gate. As a general rule, I want my browser to respect my local dns search domains in some way -- let me configure the browser to recognize those domains and try both https, http, and no search, or give me an ending character (e.g., the trailing slash, or a trailing period) that will tell the browser to try both https, http, and no search.

yeri New thread for new features

@Vlad not sure this is a new feature (I orignally submitted this in https://orionfeedback.org/d/1615-try-to-go-to-a-domain-when-query-ends-with-a-slash/7) but an improvement as it's not fully 'fixed'?

I can submit a new thread if it helps though
