Sometimes when i type in a keyword, like thesaurus, in the browser address bar, it will automatically go to thesaurus.com. How does this happen? Sometimes it does this, and then sometimes it goes to a google/yahoo search results page. Anyone know how this ".com" auto-association is done?

Your right, if there is no
testsite.com
then it searches google for the first site that comes up as
testsite
and will load that one.
i.e. test-site.com
