URLs don't go through google when you type them in Chrome's URL box, they go directly to the address. Chrome only sends things to Google that it can't interpret as a URL.
Actually it looks like URLs do go to google's suggestion service as you type into Chrome's URL box.
I tried typing "http://then and it suggested a UPS package URL and "thenicestplaceontheinter.net". I've not been to either of those pages before (I use Chrome for testing, so I'm not signed into it, etc).
