@Darkmatter I don't think it is related to Panels, so I moved the thread to the root Feature Requests forum.

@dracho said in Wider Search Engines Listbox: Telling me to use shorter names is not a solution... It is a simple workaround that I am sure that many users would find useful. I have never noticed a problem as I do not display settings in a tab. If anything needs more width, it is the URL field. Try displaying settings in a dialogue to see how the fields stack vertically when reducing the dialogue width. Re: Search Engine drop list height Vote for Dynamically Resize the Search Engine List

@flowerlandfilms The suggested method used by Firefox in the thread that I linked to earlier is arguably better, as no space is taken on the toolbars. One simply selects search engines after typing the search term. In Vivaldi, one can type a keyword (nickname) first, then the search string for the same result.

@sebatrox Follow the link provided above by iAN CooG If you install the Snapshot using the Advanced, Standalone install option its profile will not affect your stable version, and you can use it just for testing. As with all Beta software, there may be annoying bugs.

@lonm I tried to put an ! and END of search term but doesn't work. It works if put at START of term. "!blabla" in other words By creating a search engine for it with this string https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!%s&t=vivaldi the 1st result is automatically visited. For Google it should work like this https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&btnI the added &btnI should work as a I'm Feeling Lucky result, but in my experience not all keywords always go to the 1st result, and the normal search result page is shown anyway

@pesala >< Understood. Thx

I develop the search engines case but this could be also for panel calls, commonly or even like a contextual window as I suggest here, please have a look to Unanchor panel / Free floating panel / Pop-up panel.

@loxaxs This is false, as far as I can tell. I have added some dictionaries to test this, and now have 15. I have read elsewhere about users with many more search engines. Presumably @TsunamiZ has a lot or he would not be asking for an Option to Sort Search Engines Alphabetically. One user replying to that thread says he/she has 20 or so. Perhaps your problem is that you have set the scrollbars to autohide? Specs: AMD A10-6800K, 8 Gb on Win 10 64-bit 1809 build 17763.253 • Snapshot 2.3.1420.4 (64-bit)

I think it's misleading because it might make people think that ticking that box is enough to make the search private. Which is obviously not the case. So I also agree that the proposed change is a lot less ambiguous.

@potmeklecbohdan Well, why not add a search engine screen then? So users can know which SE are built-in in Vivaldi, how to to trigger them and choose between localized or a language of choice on first run (which "fix" the locale string).

@pesala that i never had the idea myself to add a dictionary!!! >_<' Better go fix that asap Thanks for the tip.

@pesala Well, that was simple! Thank you. I read it as setting the default search engine on the search bar...my bad Thanks again

@iAN-CooG It's still not done. It's in progress.

@pesala Thanks for upvote/move. I started making the post as a bug but half way through it was a "suggestion"

@pesala and available in Stable since 1.15.1147.52 (only change)? → DONE?
