At the moment, Flow Launcher doesn’t treat IP addresses as "search-able URLs" by default in the same way it handles domain-based links. That’s why typing an IP (e.g., http://192.168.1.10) currently only triggers a search result instead of opening it.

Possible reasons / status:

• The core matcher treats typical web URLs (with regular hostnames) differently from raw IP patterns.
• There’s no built-in rule to recognize and open IP URLs directly in the default web-open action.

What you can do now:

• Include a protocol prefix when triggering a URL — e.g., type http://192.168.1.10 to see if the default open behavior kicks in.
• If that doesn’t work, create or use a custom plugin that:
  • Detects IP address patterns
  • Opens them directly in the browser

A simple regex plugin for IP URLs could solve your workflow without waiting for a core feature.

Feature request consideration:
Supporting IP URLs as first-class clickable targets (just like normal domain URLs) seems useful for development and internal network use cases. It may be worth requesting this as an official enhancement so the core handlers recognize and open IP web addresses automatically.

Hi, you can use our built-in URL plugin to open ip addresses.
