I have an even more infuriating issue with the urlbar suggestions.
About 50% of the time I type something in, it will find an url suggestion for the first letter or so but keep that suggestion at the end as I keep typing, unless I press backspace before enter. e.g. "hot tubs for salettps://news.ycombinator.com"
- commoner 5y agoI experienced that too, but I wrote it off as a keyboard issue since it stopped happening after I switched from AnySoftKeyboard to FlorisBoard. Which keyboard are you using?
- franga2000 5y agoSame issue for me on SwiftKey (yes, I know, shame on me). Definitely a browser issue.
- Gualdrapo 5y agoAnother annoying thing with the urlbar is when searching something (at least with Google). Say you have set Google as your default search engine and you type 'giant books' in the urlbar (sans the quote marks). It will show that results page from Google. But say you want to look for giant books _only in your country_. So what I usually do is to add '.co' (or your country's suffix) after the '.com'. You'd tape on the urlbar, scroll until you find the '.com' and add the '.co'. But nope. It won't let you modify the URL. For some weird reason it keeps showing the query string you originally typed, in this case 'giant books'. I haven't been able to find something that lets me modify the URL when searching something. In the example, I need to type 'google.com.co', retype the query string and search again.
