This has gone on with Netscape for a while. I believe Keith D. first
pointed this out. Mozilla assumes the http://www and .com after you type in
a name. So you just have to type in Apple, or Ford, or Microsoft etc.
A couple of other interesting things that it will do.
If there is no .com it will find a .net or .org. Although I don't know in
which order it looks.
If you type something with an "and" (without the quotes) it goes to a
search engine. I was trying to go to "Road and Track" magazine. So I typed
roadandtrack and it launched a search engine.
Missy also does this in some sort of way although not as smoothly as
Mozilla. (what else is new...)
