Detect URLs starting with 'www.' as well as 'http://' when adding with Smart Add

action.manager says:
Whenever I type a URL without the "http://" prefix in the smart-add bar, this is combined with the preceding tag/location and treated as a new tag/location.

For example "Watch video #@pc @Home www.youtube.com" becomes the task "Watch video" with tag "@pc" and location "@Home www.youtube.com" instead of tag "@pc", location "@Home" and URL "www.youtube.com".

I don't think there are (m)any words starting with "www." in most languages, so could you please treats these strings as URLs, even if they are not prefixed by "http://"?

I agree. This would be good. I tried this:

Testing #Personal www.duckduckgo.com

It created a task called Testing www.duckduckgo.com in the list Personal.

While the behavior is a little bit different than it was 11 years ago, Smart Add still doesn't see www.duckduckgo.com as a URL without prepending it with http:// or https://. Instead, it just includes it as part of the task name.
