Change single word URL from search term to hostname first

So I have a URL that if I input "dwp" in the URL, it opens in the search engine. But if I enter http://dwp it will open the intranet application URL. Is there a group policy setting change the first option to search for hostname instead of using search term? Thank you!

    Finally was able to find it. Here is where you configure one word searches within Edge.

    FYI, you need to add the msedge ADML/ADMX files to the central store before you see it in GP management.
