Internet Explorer offers a way to bypass all of this melarky. Tools --> Internet Options --> Advanced Tab --> Near the bottom, select the option "DO NOT SEARCH FROM THE ADDRESS BAR".
This will turn off all redirector searches, the native microsoft included, and allow you to see your 'page not found' errors again.
Also helps when you're trying to navigate to a local router or device by IP only and the stupid redirector takes you to their stupid search (advertisement) page which wont resolve private ip addresses.
