Safari 6 ".com" shortcut

Safari 6 ".com" shortcut
This is Safari 6 on OS X, not iOS. ---

Safari 6 ".com" shortcut
This has been present in Safari for OS X for quite a while; typing apple/ipod directly into the URL bar resolves to www.apple.com/ipod. Definitely did so in Safari 5, and I think it worked in 4 as well. (Although I do appreciate the nuance in the hint with respect for the difference between typing "apple" in 5 and getting redirected to www.apple.com, and typing "apple" in 6 and getting search results instead.)

The point that seems to be getting missed is that Mac OS X Safari 6 and above have a combined search/address field, and so while typing something in this field, for example "apple" would be resolved by Safari to "http://www.apple.com/" in previous versions, it now defaults to assuming that you want to search Google (or your preferred search service) for the term "apple". Adding the slash seems to tell Safari not to make that assumption, and at least for some people, this results in Safari falling back to what seems like the old behavior. |
