Re: How to force Chrome to visit URL?

Sometimes I want to visit a specific URL, but when I type it in the combo bar, Chrome runs a Google search and suggests a bunch of wrong places.

Is there a way to force the URL? I tried typing http:// but that did not help. My solution was to install Firefox mobile.

"I had the same problem and found that typing / at the end [makes Chrome] treat it as URL instead of keyword."

This did not work for me. Nor does mobile Chrome have the No Search option under Default Search Options.
