I think you've missed reading a crucial part of the thread:  The use of
CTRL + ENTER with the entry.

If you type something into the address bar that's not an address and
then press enter, you get a google search.

e.g. "new movies" & enter leads you to "http://movies.go.com/";

But if you type something in that's not an address press CTRL *and*
ENTER (i.e. hold down CTRL, and press ENTER while you're still holding
it down), you get the www. and .com additions.

e.g. "new movies" & CTRL + ENTER gives "http://www.new movies.com/" 
(which doesn't work, because there's a space in the domain name, which
isn't allowed).

It does this whether you're on or off-line, by the way.  That was just a
simple way of testing things without involving an outside factor.
