Running the google search chrome address bar from "C #" now changes the bar to "c / #",

Question

This has only just begun to happen in the last couple of months, and entering c / # into the address bar is trying to go to that URL instead of doing a search.

I know this is not a programming issue, but I start a lot of searches with "C #"!

I looked through the chrome settings, but could not find anything suitable, does anyone know that chrome should be avoided by adding '/'?

Answer 1

The forecast service may be turned on in the Chrome browser. This is done by default.

To disable it:

• Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar (top right).
• Select "Settings."
• Click "Show advanced settings."
• In the "Privacy" section, uncheck the "Use forecasting service to help you perform a full search and the URLs typed in the address bar."
• Then you should also clear your browser history.

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

This is what I found after research.

Answer 2

If you put ? at the beginning of the search in the address bar, it will search even if you typed the URL.

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

For example, if you enter "C # programming" in the address bar when you enable predictions, the first result is a link to a website for "c / # programming" that does not exist.

If you put a "?" Before the search text, you will receive a list of options for autocomplete of the search query
