Re: automatic search and .com

This isn't probably the official way to do it, but IANA Official

There's a bunch of preferences you can tweak if you point Epiphany at
"about:config".  You don't get there through the menu system, you type
that into the location bar and hit Enter.

Hmm... odd.  I was going to say "look for keyword.URL and
keyword.enabled - and change keyword.enabled to true".  This worked
for me in 2.14, but apparently not in 2.16.

Look for things starting with browser.fixup, for example, set
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled to false.

Alternatively, a work-around is to explicitly add the http:// to the
start of your request.
