One of my most looked at sites is the BBC News website, which is at the address http://news.bbc.co.uk. However, with OmniWeb, typing in "news" to the address bar automatically brings up http://www.news.com as the first link, thanks to the shortcut that has been setup to do this, which seemingly cannot be removed.
Any chance you could trust your users enough to give them the option to remove this shortcut? Asides from anything else, it's a bit US/BigCommerce centric - it overrides history entries for http://www.news.co.nz, for example.
I'm fully prepared to tick a little disclaimer box that says I understand that I may actually have to type full URLs into the address field instead of just throwing random words into there and hoping. ;-)
