Current versions of Firefox (I'm on 68) suggests that terms in the address bar that comprise of letters, dots and some special characters (e.g. -, _) are URIs. Unfortunately, many of programming terms are also in this form, notably namespaces/modules and object properties (e.g. os.path, String.fromCharCode). Is there any way to only allow TLDs/suffixes of these search terms that match a whitelist (e.g. the public suffix list or a user-defined one)?

I'm aware that dots are stripped out of search terms anyways, but it would just help the workflow a bit to not need to do that myself.

This doesn't address your issue directly, but one way to avoid having your searches misinterpreted as URLs is to enclose the entire thing (or a part of it) in "double-quotes". As a fellow programmer who searches for JavaScript APIs sometimes, this is very handy.
