Possible to have URLs suggested in the search box?

When I search say “BBC News”

The results look like this - is there any way to have it show URLs I can do directly to without having to go to the search page first? Perhaps an I’m Feeling Lucky feature?

Yes please thanks! very much

@Gigabit,
Can you confirm that you have the Auto-complete searches and URLs option toggled “on” in Settings --> Privacy/Security?

Thank you for the information. Reaching out to search team now for more information. Appreciate your patience.

I believe this is the expected behavior
