According to this bug posted: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=30636

Google will not be fixing the issue you have. The only method should be to use http://example.nt I don't see why that won't work.




ANSWER 2

Fortunately there is a fairly simple workaround that doesn't involve code.

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Manage search engines...
  3. Add a new search engine and use these as the 3 values:
    a. Default
    b. %s
    c. http://%s/
  4. Make default



ANSWER 3

Similarly to simmbot, I've created a search engine with a keyword of 'l' (my local TLD is .l). The URL is http://%s.l. Then, I simply type "l mysite" in the address bar and it takes me to mysite.l.

Alternatively, you can simply add a slash at the end, and Chrome won't consider it a search. (See https://stackoverflow.com/a/7877750/974981)

I run my own local DNS server (BIND on Linux) which resolves LAN domains using a custom TLD and then recurses non-LAN to OpenDNS. I've never experienced any issues like this. Are you sure your local DNS is correctly resolving .nt domains?
