Thunderbolt, Stock Browser - HTTP always in front??

[owwo]

So, I've got my TB and have installed an earlier version of Swype (Evo).

I love that swype works great, except for the auto space with the stock SMS (Handcent FTW).

I've tried Dolphin Mini/HD, FF and Miren. I gotta say that I'm loving Miren, but because Swype auto space doesn't work at all, I'm back to the stock browser.

One of the things I love is being able to just type in search words in the browser bar, but I have having to erase the "http://www." everytime in the stock browser.

For example, if I want to search for "amsterdam", I go to the top, touch the browser bar, and see that everything is highlighted...EXCEPT for the "http://www."

So I need to manually delete/clear out the "http://www.", then go back and swype "amsterdam" to search from the bar.

Is there anyway to have the stock browser take out the "http://www." on the Thunderbolt as a default?

p.s. does Miren support swype auto space...if so, how?

This drove me nuts too. I never found a solution. Currently I'm using DolphinHD which I'm quite happy with. In my quest I tried a lot of browsers. It is possible to find a stock Froyo browser which is similar to the HTC browser but doesn't auto-populated the http://www.

My solution is press the magnifying glass and it will bring up search then just type.

go into browser, tap address bar, longpress addressbar, select all, type your search

^ yeah, it may not seem like a big deal to some but to me that is a huge pain in the tush to have to do everytime you enter a search.

Honestly my biggest problem is that I could not get used to not typing www. I had the HTC Touch Pro WinMo phone and the browser on that worked the same way. Even after two years with that phone I still couldn't get used to it. I would enter an address and it would try to go to http://www.www.url.com. Every. Single. Time.
