Using Samsung Internet 11.1.2.2 on Android 8.1.0.
Whenever I type an URL in the top bar, it performs a Google search with that parameter. The worst thing is that in some cases, the target URL is not in the list of the search results. Thus, I cannot go to the intended URL.
Is there any solution for this, so I can visit the target URL in Samsung Internet Browser?
You can simply disable the automatic searching for entered values in the address bar:
Open Settings -> Search engine and disable "Suggest websites and search terms"
Afterwards if you enter a valid DNS name like exampleabc.com you will get directly to the page (in this case a generated error page as the domain does not exist).
If you just enter some search terms like holiday a Google search will be performed.
