Did you mean to access a local network called pydoc?
Well shit. No, I didn't. This makes me miss my click half of the time because it slides in a few moments after the search results page loads.
Turns out, this suggestion is being pulled in from another server which we can block! It's not even really Chrome's fault.
Much more often than not, a one-word entry into the omnibar is a search, not an attempt to connect to a local network. And besides, you can still omit the search and do that by appending a forward slash.
pydoc/ as opposed to pydoc
Anyway, if this pissing you off as well because you don't connect to servers this way, here's how to make it stop happening:
1. Actually click on it. If the search query is indeed not a server name it will just take you to something like this:
Thanks, Frontier Whatever! Actually, no thanks, I was looking for PyDoc, not pyramid schemes.
Anyway, you opened this to take the domain of this URL. For me it's this but yours will probably be different depending on your ISP:
assist2.searchguide.frontier.com Be sure you omit the http://
2. Open your hosts file. I'm on a Mac, and found an easy way to do it with a command line (Terminal). [1] On Windows notepad will do the job.
$ cd ~
$ sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
$ sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
Add this line to the bottom of hosts. All this does is block that stupid service from intervening. (Substitute the URL you got of course, this is what mine looked like):
127.0.0.1 assist2.searchguide.frontier.com
Save and close. To do that in the terminal: Ctrl-O Enter Ctrl-X
3. Flush your DNS cache for instant effect. [2]
Mac: dscacheutil -flushcache
Windows: ipconfig /flushdns
Done. Remember, appending a / will always let you access local networks this way anyway. But now your ISP won't interrupt your one-worded omnibar search queries :)
