Starting a chrome address bar google search with "c#" now changes the string to "c/#" [closed]


If you put a ? at the beginning of your search in the address bar, it will perform a search, even if you typed in a url.

You can press CTRL + E to set the focus to the address bar with the ? already added for you.

For example, if you type "c# programming" into the address bar when you have predictions enabled, the first result is a web site link to "c/# programming" which doesn't exist.

Prediction results

If you put the "?" before your search text, you will get a list of search term auto-completion suggestions.

Could be the prediction service is enabled in your Chrome browser. This is done by default.

To disable it:

  1. Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar (upper right).
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Click Show advanced settings.
  4. In the "Privacy" section, deselect the "Use a prediction service tohelp complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar" checkbox.
  5. You should then also clear your browser history.

This is for browser history: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95537.

This is what I found after research.
