A day or two ago I tried to reach our company's internal web site using short name in Internet Explorer 10 and was constantly diverted to my favorite search engine site.
By short name I mean that I entered InternalWebSiteName (without http:// in-front of it) in the address bar like shown in example below.
After entering InternalWebSiteName, I hit enter and was always diverted to my favorite search engine search results :(
Now here are two tips how to avoid this and reach internal web sites by it's short names. Quick and easy :)
Tip 1:
Enable setting in IE. Setting is hidden under:
IE \ Tools \ Internet Options \ Advanced.
Enable 'Go to an intranet site for a single word entry in the Address bar'.
Tip 2:
Just type a forward slash '/' after the InternalWebSiteName. That will send it out as an URL.
This is it for today and it's so easy.
Have fun!
