String matching from a list

I am making a web browser and I am stuck on this one thing. I want the addres bar to act as an address bar and a search bar. First I tried seeing if querying the search bar with if adrBarTextBox.text.endswith(".com") but immediately realized that not every domain ended with .com.

The code I am currently using (and are stuck with) is:

// Populate List.
var list = new List<string>();
list.Add(Properties.Settings.Default.suffix);

(Properties.Settings.Default.suffix is a list of every domain suffix currently available)

// Search for this element.
if (adrBarTextBox.Text.Contains(list.something????))
{
    // Do something (I have this part all set up)
}

The part i am having trouble with is 

if (adrBarTextBox.Text.Contains(list.

I know it doesn't make sense but thats why i am asking. I have sat here thinking of a new way for hours and I am lost. I know that .Text.Contains(list) doesn't make sense and that's what I am stuck with.

I know the question is a bit noobish and there is probably some simple easy was staring me right in the face but hey. We all have to learn from somewhere.

Use Uri.IsWellFormedUriString to determine if the input string is a valid URL.

If you want to match a string with words against another list of words, use 

myList.Any(item => input.Contains(item));

You may need this

if (list.Any(x => adrBarTextBox.Text.Contains(x)))
{
   //...
}
