search in address bar behaviour

hello

when I type a word in address bar and hit ENTER it doesn't go to "www.word.com" but it search for "word" in google, since I installed 10.53

how can I restore this?

please note that I need to search in google when I type a phrase, but when I type a word I want it to go to www.word.com

thanks

Instead of typing word type word/ notice the / at the end.
A simple search would have given you the answer.

would be safe to switch from 10.53 to 10.10 ?

There will be a lot of fixes in 10.54. They are still working on it but they regularly release non-final snapshots. Look here for more
