Google search of forums from chromium address bar borked

When I use chromium/chrome to do a google search of the forums, I start by typing site:forums.gentoo.org into the address bar, then I add my search terms. But chromium always too-cleverly decides I want to search www.gentoo.org instead. Annoying.

Has anyone else noticed this? Anybody got any ideas on how to fix it?

I can confirm this on Chromium version 6.0.466.0 on ~amd64. I suggest that you file a bug report on the Gentoo Linux bug tracker. Also, this is likely in the wrong forum.

Yeah, I'll do that... so what do you think the right forum would be? I put it here because it goes to usability of the forums... wrt chromium it's a fairly unimportant bug, but it's very annoying because of its effect.

It probably should have gone under Desktop Environments.
