In Chrome, for example, I'd insert search queries onto the address bar like "psycopg2.extensions", "someword.someword" and chrome would interpret those as a search query and would redirect me to my default search engine.

Firefox, however, treat this as a website URL and proceed to complete with .com

How can I change this settings?

Thank you very much!

You can possibly initiate a search by typing a '@' and selecting the search engine.

Or you can go to the search engine website and make your search from there.

Hello Daniel,

I always put a "?" (question mark without the quotes) in front of it, like :

?psycopg2.extensions
