When I type "go" in Google Chrome 41, I get "google.com_/" as a suggestion:
This happens for other websites, too. Does anybody have an idea why this happens and how I can remove those suggestions?
(I certainly never typed it)

This seems to only happen for me on sites where I have a search keyword setup.– Dan BuhlerNov 5, 2018 at 0:51

I've had the same issue with the underscore after urls in Chrome's search suggestion box. I'm not sure what causes it, but to remove them start typing the URL that has the issue in the URL box. When the suggestion shows up, press the down arrow on the keyboard to select it and press Shift + delete. For macOS users Fn + Shift + Delete.

I found this SE question before I found the following article. Figured I'd update here in case anyone else has the same issue.
It seems there is (was?) a bug in Chrome with how search URL's are harvested. You have to manually clean up your search engines in Chrome's settings.

Even after manually cleaning up search engines, I still had to follow the steps listed by @Bag_of_sunshine to resolve the issue.– DanielDec 21, 2020 at 21:17

@Daniel - I think that keeps more from showing up, but you still need to clean up the mess they made. Mar 6, 2021 at 16:47
