I use the URL box a lot to google things. This is fine, until I need to google a namespaced function, or something similar. I'll try to just google array.splice and it tries to take me to

http://www.array.splice/

I just stare at the connection error for a second, realizing that I deserve what I got. Then I add @google or JavaScript before it and proceed with my day.

The minor annoyances of being a dev.

    Followed the link. Don’t know what I have expected.

    At least in Firefox, adding a space at the end tells it it isn't a URL. I'd imagine other browsers work the same way.
    But I feel the frustration. Bonus points if you're searching for legacy Windows stuff that literally ends in .com.
