Vivaldi deletes letters when searching

[AshKK]

As the title says. I wanted to search g helper and after pressing enter, vivaldi searched only for enter, the g dissapeared.

@AshKK welcome to the forum. Vivaldi allows you to set shortcuts to trigger using specific search engines. While Vivaldi's default search engine is bing (which can be changed), the shortcut g triggers search to be conducted with Google, for example. You can edit the shortcuts in the search engines settings. Otherwise, if , you want to search for g something, use parentheses (search for "g something")

@AshKK said in Vivaldi deletes letters when searching:

I wanted to search g helper

Use "g helper
That skips the removing of the google searchengine shortcut in address field.

@AshKK,

FWIW   my preference to not trigger search nickname is to prefix phrase with a space, for instance:

• g helper  (no space) triggers Google search for phrase helper
• ​ g helper  (with space) trigger default search for phrase g helper
