            Bug ID: 194925
           Summary: Safari URL rewrite should not be rewriting everything
                    under search engine's subdomains
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 12
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: moplam at google.com

URL rewrite for Safari is way too aggressive at re-writing.

Pre-req for this example: Safari's default search engine is Google.

Example: http://fake.google.com/search?q=123, http://docs.google.com/search?q=123 will all navigate user to https://google.com/search?q=123 (and show 123 in the url bar)

This rewrite will navigate any of Google's sub domain. It is very often not appropriate outside google.com or www.google.com.

A real example: https://support.google.com/search?q=123 will bring you to different page on Chrome (correct) vs Safari (incorrect).
