I, for one, only really use one search engine, but I agree that this method is
inflexible in that way (although that's fairly implicit in the method).

I agree that heuristic detection of search times vs. URI schemas sucks pretty
bad, but if it could hit a good success rate (which is probably does), it's not
that bad, as long as it's only an optional patch and not in the codebase.
The way I always get around this search vs. URI schema dilemma for URLs in
my DNS search domain is by appending a slash to the end, which at least makes
Chromium behave as expected.
