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 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 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

[rnestler]

Interestingly there are also several go/foo autocompletions on Duckduckgo :)

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'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?

Somewhat related - Microsoft bought corp.com as back in the Windows 2000 days, "corp" was the default/example domain in AD - https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/04/microsoft-buys-corp-com-...

They had this at Chase when I worked there. As I recall discoverability was a problem though.

Not just go, but lots of our internal stuff can be resolved that way. m/ c/ etc. you can get this for yourself by setting search domains.

I had worked at a bank as an IT professional and it works wonders, until the browser tries to be smart and attempts a Google search

[RockRobotRock]

Intel had that when I worked there

I was just there a few years ago, now it’s goto/ instead of go/. Maybe go/ still works, I never thought to check.

[quantumcd]

They still do; it's goto/ though
