How can I ban sites from Chrome's omnibar?

I've set up a couple of servers on my network, which are named simply after the service they are providing (i.e. http://git/, http://jenkins/, etc.). For simplicity, those are accessible by their short name, i.e. http://git instead of http://git.my.local.domain. Unfortunately, this interferes severely with searching from Chrome's omnibar: if I wanted to search for "git do something I want", I'd type gitspace and the Omnibar would instantly assume I want to search inside http://git, which is obviously wrong.

Is there any way I can either disable this functionality for certain sites or at least change it somehow to be activated only on tab, but not on space?

Here are a few related questions.

No, there is currently no way to control the Omnibar behavior (and the Chrome devs have repeatedly indicated that they have no desire to give such options).

This works for 'Facebook', but strangely, I don't have an entry for 'git' in there! :( – Vincent Sels – 2017-09-14T09:31:59.673
