Match multiple strings in address bar
-
The address bar only supports single entry to match now. That is to say, a space entered would be treated as part of the matching string, so it seems that Vivaldi only accept a single and consecutive string to look up in the address bar.
I think it would be nice to allow multiple strings, separated by spaces, to speed up looking up for browsing history and bookmarks. For example, I can type
goo
first to bring up a lot of history and bookmark items, then I type a space andviv
to narrow the results to Vivaldi-related Google search pages.(Please kindly redirect me if this is already raised before.)

There is a similar feature request in the Feature Request thread, but you should probably go there and add your own request to the list so that other people could vote for it.

Thanks a lot. I noticed that I can't post in the Feature Request area, so I did not think of replying in that 1.8/1.9 feature request thread.

I may have reported this as a bug.
The issue is that VIvaldi match exact phrase.Your history : "Foos bars"
You can match "Foos bars"
You can't march "Foo bar"

Yes it's not a bug but at least a very annoying missing feature. Vivaldi is suppose to be a brower for power users.
Matching research correctly is 200% needed and honestly you can't live without it
As you said it's maddening haha -
A power user as you call it, opens %localappdata%\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\History with a sqlite3 browser and does:
select url,title from urls where title like '%best%' and title like '%2017%'
Normal users just use what a program offers -

Normal users just use what a program offersUh... If so, why bother these feature requests? Why bother make a new browser? Internet Explorer/Safari can offer "normal users" (as you defined) every thing.
But I disagree this definition of "power user".
