Search is going directly to page in history instead of searching

Whenever I try to search for “amtrak” right now, it doesn’t search. Instead, it goes directly to https://www.amtrak.com/plan-your-trip.html

This is specifically on my Android device, but I’ve experienced the same behavior on Ubuntu.

I’m pretty sure this is important: I have “Show autocomplete in address bar” disabled. Whenever I re-enable it, that url is what it auto-completes to. (Of course, keeping auto-complete on is not an option.)

Steps to Reproduce:

I think this will work, but it’s kind of an odd thing to reproduce.

  1. Disable “Show autocomplete in address bar”.
  2. Type or copy/paste a url in the url/search bar that has a path other than the root in it, e.g. https://www.tumblr.com/dennys
  3. Try to search that domain as a keyword.

Actual Result: It will go to a page in the history (in that example, Denny’s Tumblr page).

Expected result: It will search the web for “Tumblr”.

Reproduces how often: Every time I search this term.

Operating System and Brave Version: Android 10, Brave 1.52.130.
