[Bug 1317428] [NEW] some (valid) urls are searched via google instead of opened directly

 

Public bug reported:

Entering urls like guh.guru:8080 causes the browser to search for it on
google instead of opening the site directly.

Seems the webbrowser-app doesn't recognize this as a valid url and hence
does the fallback to search for it.
