Add chrome like behavior for searching queries containing periods rather than always interpreting as addresses
-
Please could Vivaldi's address bar be made to behave more like the Chrome's Omnibox?
When I enter a query containing a period like "np.histogram2d" (unlikely to be a web address), rather than returning "np.histogram2dโs server DNS address could not be found" please could it instead return search engine results.
This would be very useful for people who frequently search for programming expressions using the address bar.
Thanks!

@farleytpm As a workaround you could use searchengine nicknames.
e.g. to search this term in google i just typeg np.max
or for a wikipedia entryw np.max
(The last example doesn't make much sense but I guess you catch my drift)
You can assign nicknames when you create new searchengine entries (first pic) - to create a new searchengine rightclick in a searchbox and select Add as Searchengine or you can edit them in Settings --> Search --> click the pencil beside a searchengine entry (second pic)

@gwen-dragon What magic does Chrome have that Vivalidi cannot implement?
A lot of money?

And much spare time for patches and large developer teams.
But a worst community

I have never had an issue with searching using the Vivaldi search box, NOT the omni box.
