"You shouldn't want that thing that you want."
No.
If I type eba{Tab}query, firefox should search ebay for query. If I have to go to settings once and tick a box to enable this functionality, I will. I won't stop wanting what I want.
- ubercow13 5y agoI don't understand, Firefox has this functionality. For example I have it set up so if I type 'y cats' it will search Youtube directly for cats. You can do the same with ebay. Similarly if I type 'yout<tab>cats' it will do the same search. Also, if you like it so much, you can configure Firefox to not put things like bookmarks and history before search results in tab-complete search suggestions. Firefox's address bar is strictly superior as far as I can see. The only thing it's missing vs Chrome is dark patterns.
- FranklinMaillot 5y agoFirefox search bar is so much superior to other browsers, I don't understand why almost no one points this out. Chrome is so frustrating when it keeps prioritizing search suggestions over history.
- tialaramex 5y ago1. In Firefox settings, tick "When using the address bar, suggest: Search engines". 2. Find an eBay search engine you like, install it in Firefox. Now, when you type eba{Tab} Firefox will suggest the search engine you installed, and your continued typing will be as a search in that engine. I don't use this for eBay, but I do use it for Rust, typing e.g. rust{tab}iterator takes me to the documentation for std::iterator and related entries.
