Bug Description

Entering urls like guh.guru:8080 causes the browser to search for it on google instead of opening the site directly.

Seems the webbrowser-app doesn't recognize this as a valid url and hence does the fallback to search for it.

The code that detects URLs (looksLikeAUrl(…) function in AddressBar.qml) needs to be extended to support this kind of address.
