Teach Google Chrome to understand custom TLD

Solution 1:

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.

Solution 2:

Fortunately there is a fairly simple workaround that doesn't involve code.

1. Go to Settings
2. Manage search engines...
3. Add a new search engine and use these as the 3 values:
   a. Default
   b. %s
   c. http://%s/
4. Make default

Solution 3:

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)
