Tampermonkey script is not redirecting to the expected URL?

I am trying to replace the visited URL with another URL whenever certain search terms are used.

However browsing bing.com for the term "foobar" results in the URL bing.com/www.google.com.au instead of just google.com.au.

I have tried using both location.href and location.replace():

var OldUrl = location.href
var NewUrl = "www.google.com.au";

var arr = ["foobar"];
for (var i = 0, len = arr.length; i < len; ++i) {
    if (OldUrl.indexOf(arr[i]) != -1) {
        // str contains arr[i]
        location.href = NewUrl; 
        //location.replace(NewUrl);
        found = true;
        break;
    }
}

URLs are treated as relative unless prefixed with a protocol. To solve your issue in particular, I'd suggest

var NewUrl = 'https://www.google.com.au'
