Folks who can reproduce the "sketch" --> "sketchers.com" behavior or the "realty.com" --> "realtor.com" behavior, would any of you be willing to file the issue via Feedback Assistant (only needs a free developer.apple.com account) with a sysdiagnose and a screen recording? Then give me the FB number.

I can get the Safari team to look at this, but I can't reproduce either behavior myself. Any other examples of bogus/unexpected autocomplete also welcome.

I only use Safari and I’ve actually been on realtor.com a ton the past few days. I just punched in realty.com and it directed me to realtor.com. If I do http://realty.com it takes me to the correct site.

Interesting! Maybe it takes a lot of visits to realtor.com to get in this state.

Done: FB7793463. It sounds like you work at Apple? The screen recording is attached to the report.

Thank you! I do work at Apple, on WebKit mostly but I'm in touch with a lot of Safari folks too.

I can't tell if it's my company's censorware or Safari but lately it really likes redirecting 127.0.0.1 to http://www.127.0.0.1.com if a server isn't listening on the port I requested. Localhost does the same thing

I don’t have a developer’s account, but I’m new to iPhone in the last 4 months and my phone also goes from realty.com to realtor.com.

Not sure if a lack of history is for some reason causing it, or the presence of history is preventing it

It's free to sign up on developer.apple.com! Bug reports filed via Feedback Assistant are a lot more actionable, so worth it if you are considering reporting issues.

Happy to as well. Able to reproduce on my iPhone 8. Type in “sketch” to safari. Hit enter. End up at sketchers.com

When I search in iPhone Safari for “sketch” I get a dictionary definition for the word as the top suggested result. Pressing “go” does a Google search for “sketch”.
