63421 - [RFE] URL autocomplete should try ignoring www. at start of URL's

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Dave Gileadi]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0)
BuildID:    

This may be wishful thinking, but one of the things I miss most in Mozilla (as 
opposed to IE5) is a smarter URL autocomplete, that lets me start typing a 
domain name without the www., and return matches of similar domain names that 
start with the www.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Clear the location history
2. Type www.netscape.com into the URL, and hit [enter].
3. Start typing netscape.com into the URL

Actual Results:  No autocomplete dropdown appeared.

Expected Results:  An autocomplete dropdown should appear, with 
www.netscape.com listed in it.

Again, this may be wishfull thinking, but while people are changing the URL 
autocomplete (see various bugs, especially 51910) this would be a REALLY nice 
feature to offer.
