Prevent the reserved .test TLD from searching from the address bar

Reported by andy1...@gmail.com, Jan 11 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.132 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Enter a URL using the reserved .test TLD without a protocol in the address bar
2. Press enter
3. A search is triggered rather than going to the entered URL

What is the expected behavior?
As '.test' is an IETF reserved TLD for local production of websites the browser should recognise URLs containing this as genuine ones. So rather than searching should attempt to take you to the relevant page without the need for entering a protocol to prevent the search.

What went wrong?
Chromium generates a search rather than going to the entered address.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 63.0.3239.132  Channel: stable
