At Google and many other tech companies, internal machines are configured to have go/<whatever> work just like you describe. Looks like someone even made a whole company around it
A problem with this approach is browsers love to resolve it to http://go.com, so Disney may be getting a feed of what Googlers are interested in.
I mean, have fun? You're gonna get most stuff like go/thor-design or go/zanzibar. It's not as if go links are go/our-disney+-competitor.
I have found Chrome more willing to resolve go/foo as a web search. As a result, the Google autocomplete suggestions for terms like "go/m" are pretty amusing
Interestingly there are also several go/foo autocompletions on Duckduckgo :)
I can’t speak for anywhere else, but I’m pretty sure Google uses a Proxy Auto Config script for go links, which should prevent that from happening in most cases.
Disclosure: I work for Google.
Same for Target
I've never seen a configuration that would set a default subdomain search on .com., so I find this hard to believe. Can you show me a browser that resolves like this?
