How can I prevent Chome/Chomium from searching via the address bar unless I explicitly start with "?" or any other keyword?
I'm trying to avoid searches where I'd rather have an error message stating invalid url.

You can add a new search engine in preferences, set URL to %s and use it as the default one - this will produce the message you want instead of actually searching. |

More likely it's your ISP or DNS that redirect if you type in a invalid URL. If you type an URL that is invalid you should get this message: This webpage is not available.You might get this too: Oops! Google Chrome could not find.... |
