If you look at the list of items that appear below his typing, the “Top Hit” is “realtor.com” - I am saying that this is reading the typing as a search, and not as a domain. It’s a bug imo that the domain isn’t considered first.
I think it came across as if I’m saying this is correct behavior, I’m not, I’m saying it’s following the UX available, it’s not a nefarious trick to redirect to a competitor. It’s still damaging and needs to be fixed.
And the question is: How do you visit the site directly if typing the domain name into the url field doesn't take you there. Your workaround either doesn't work or needs more explanation.
That was NOT meant to be a recommended workaround, that is absurd, so thanks for the downvotes folks!
I was pointing out that after doing that, the default UX behavior leading to the “bad” website no longer happens, indicating it is all about UX and not a DNS thing, or other weird Safari bug.
How? He literally types "realty.com" (ie: the full domain) in the bar and it goes to "realtor.com."
