Chrome – How to loading exactly the URL I typed, not Google Search of the same URL with a fragment specifier in Chromium

address-barchromiumgoogle-chromeurl

I paste a file:///path/to/my/page.html into Chromium. Under the address bar appears:

  • file:///path/to/my/page.html – Google Search
  • file:///path/to/my/page.html#somefragment – My Page

If I just press Enter, it does the Google Search.

If I choose (but not click) at the entry with fragment, then manually backspace it, it also turns into a Google Search request when I erase it to file:///path/to/my/page.html#.

If I click away from address bar to let the search suggestion disappear, then re-enter address bar, then press Enter, it enters Google Search.

In Privacy Settings, various options about address bar like "Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors" are already turned off.

Workaround: delete the offending auto-complete entry:

  • Paste the URL into address bar
  • Select the auto-suggest entry with keyboard
  • Press Shift+Del
  • Title of the entry (in the example, "My Page") should disappear
  • Re-paste the URL into address bar if needed
  • Press Enter
