Sure you don't need? I have 4 pcs at home called (without fantasy) "server", 
"mediacenter" , "blackbox" (my notebook) and "wifebox" :). And a router called 
"router".
Typing one of these names rekonq searched google for them as first result, 
while now it rightly loads them. 
And I think the same is valid for words like "localhost" and so on. Basically 
this is why the isHttp() check is unuseful.

Try to guess user ideas is unsane. And someone will always find one case where 
he prefers one solution over the others proposed.
I strongly suggest to just show engines results as they are implemented:
1. Browse (UrlFromUserInput)
2. Search (Google)
3. History
4. Bookmarks
5. dontknow
and just let user do the choice. Maintaining this order we can try re-enabling 
the first down selection with no failing resolutions.

Again, no. Please, read again my previous mail. Without it more than one half 
of the url typed will fail to load.
