Great and thorough guide, well done! Even though it might not always give the perfect results, I often combine Google autocomplete with other searches where no autocomplete is available. Sometimes I try to add new autocomplete URLs by looking at Developer Tools but if the results don't confirm to the standard specs for browser autocomplete it won't work. Here are some I use regularly: All Music Guide, amg - music database https://www.allmusic.com/search/all/%s Discogs, di - music database https://www.discogs.com/search/?q=%s&type=all Bandcamp, b - music shop for independent artists https://bandcamp.com/search?q=%s Vimeo, v - video site for quality content https://vimeo.com/search?q=%s IMDB, i - movie database https://www.imdb.com/find?q=%s Gmail search, m https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?subset=all#search/%s Gmail compose to, cm https://mail.google.com/?view=cm&to=%s Google Maps. gm https://maps.google.com/maps?q=%s Google "I feel lucky", gl - go automatically to first result https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&btnI=1 Google Translate, tr https://translate.google.com/#auto|auto|%s Internet Archive Wayback Machine, ar http://web.archive.org/web/%s Urban Dictionary, u - slang dictionary https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=%s Wolfram Alpha, wa - calculation engine http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%s If anyone's got working autocomplete for any of these I'd appreciate it, as most of them have non-standard implementations.

This is my largest pet-peeve at the moment with Vivaldi. At 99.9% of the time, I just want to go to bing.com and not bing.com/some/past/search/from/long/ago. This would be a huge improvement to the address bar.

@Catlan said in Autocompletion suggests random link: I think they are suggesting to review the options Under "Address Field Drop-Down Menu" from within the Address Bar options in Settings. Thank you, this was very helpful.

Thanks, guys, spoke to QA, we'll try to prioritize these bugs. Emphasis on try

@lonm Yes it autocompletes vivaldi: prefixes, not chrome: prefixes.

@ROTFL I can not test it. Please report the issue to Vivaldi. May be this issue is a bug. Please read how to Report a bug for Vivaldi carefully and then report the bug to Vivaldi bugtracker. //Edit: If you make a screen recording (GIF, Video) and send them, it would be easier to test and understand the issue.

I can confirm that this is still an issue. Recently i've cleared all browser data except passwords and bookmarks, but address bar suggests sites that i've visited a long time ago but they are not in my bookmarks. My only guess is that it's somehow related to data sync between browsers.

@LonM That was not my impression. @ruario said in the RC2 thread Nonetheless we are considering the situation and how best something like this should work in the modern world.

I'm not a fan of the tab solution... For me, the best behavior would be using the down key instead of the tab key. I know that even multiple tabs have a meaning of cycling through the option on a command line, but in a browser I use tabs to cycle through controls on a page, not for other things... If I type forum.vival and then Enter, the browser would try to go to http://forum.vival ; If I type forum.vival, then the Down key and then Enter, it might go to this page, for instance, if it was the first in the dropdown And if I want the second or third in the dropdown, I just press down a few more times. As a matter of fact, that's already how it works So the only thing to implement, really, is to stop autocompleting so aggressively (and granted, the default could still be as is, as that seems to be an industry standard, and the option not to autocomplete would be just fine for me).

the tab thing is kind of driving me crazy as i try to migrate from chrome. tab makes the search keyword visibly highlighted. without it, there is a smallish favicon to show that you are using a custom search. nickname does not work if there is a space at the very left. it gets confusing. sure, i would eventually get used to it... but it would be nice if user is not using a dedicated search box... he could have the option to replicate the tab to load search keyword thing. as already mentioned, google is making a lot of changes in the newer builds of chrome which is breaking workflow for a lot of us. and this is probably the first time since the launch of chrome that i am seriously working on moving away from it. it might be worth considering to make the transition easy!

Not what is requested here, but a tip to work around the problem. Go to https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world/us_and_canada Then Ctrl+Click on the URL to go up to a parent folder: Ctrl+Click to go to the Root Folder

Also key DEL could work.

Confirmed your bug internally.

@Ayespy thx

@dsrtrosy I already replied for this matter here https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/121474 learn to look at your settings before complaining Vivaldi can't be customized.
