When a network resource request having a domain name is received, it can be determined whether the domain name is a fictitious domain name (FDN). For instance, the highest level domain (HLD) of a domain name that is determined not resolvable is called a top level domain alias (TLDA) and such a domain name is a FDN having a TLDA. Rather than displaying an error message upon determining that a domain name is (fictitious) a FDN, instead a URL having a resolvable domain name can be generated. Content if any, may then be located, presented, displayed, notified, and/or accessed accordingly. For example, the autosearch feature of a web browser can be enabled to provide further resolution processing by generating and/or resolving a resolvable domain name upon detecting a FDN from a received domain name.
