Sorry for the weird title, wanted to be descriptive.

Anyways, the way the URL filter is currently set up, if a user typed in 'maps.google.com' into their post body, the URL filter would not pick it up.

It would however pick up 'http://maps.google.com' or 'www.google.com/maps' because they are 1) an absolute link or preceded by a www.

A lot of users won't enter the 'http://' portion of the link because they aren't familiar with it if they wanted to link to maps.google.com. For my particular site this would be an issue because of some link rewriting trickery I'm using upon node view.

Has anyone else got around this limitation?

Perhaps hitting the node before it's submitted to the db and finding strings that include a TLD. It would have to bypass those already filtered by Drupal.

I can see pro and con arguments for handling this. Why don't you submit a feature request to Drupal core for D7 and make a patch.

I think this would be good too.
