.org appearing in browser search when .com is the primary domain

[jimmyzig]

In most browsers, our visitors search for our domain and when they start typing the URL the drop down auto choices list .org as the first choice for our website. We do own the .org but it points to the .com and the .com is our primary domain.

Why does .org seem to dominate Google search in this case? And since we have the .org forwarded to the .com, do we need to be concerned?

You're typing your domain into what browsers?

You need to figure out if you're pulling suggest data from a search engine or suggestions from browser search history?

Try clearing your browsing history and see what happens.

I'll 2nd what Jim said.  Also, if you're looking at search RESULTS (not Google Suggest), then after you run your query, append &pws=0 to the URL to depersonalize the results....then see which is chosen.

If you have the .org pages 301 redirected to the .com, then you're in good shape regardless.  You should use the httpfox Firefox plugin to watch the HTTP response stream when you type [yourdomain].org to make sure it's a clean 301 redirect to the .com version.
