Better, faster results in the address field – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3592.3

@daniel said in Better, faster results in the address field – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3592.3:
@supermurs: You can find your bookmarks and history with the new address field. Search engine nicknames (e.g., “w wikipedia”) still works. We’re interested in any specific use cases you’re no longer able to complete. E.g., does it take you more typing to get to a page you frequently visit? In general, the new address field should get you where you want to go with less typing than before while not showing an overwhelmingly large list of options.
As I said it does take me more typing to get the result I am after. I think a big part of that is due to the abbreviated list. I had no problem with the large list of suggestions, it covers more variables
Why the push for the omnibox anyway? It strips out configuration (a Vivaldi strong point) and relies on calculation instead
-
@mib2berlin: Thank you for sharing the data with us. The new address field is actually showing the expected URL as the first suggestion in the drop-down. The drop-down has merged the Bookmark and History scores and put it at the first/best suggestion in the drop-down.

Hrm, after a restart of Vivaldi it is shown, I have to test this more.EDIT: Yes, I open a page, close it and search.
It only show the bookmark but not the history.Is this the combinated result?
By the way, I have bookmarks and history disabled in the old priority list, I don't want to show them up in the address field. -
[Settings][Find] Make “Toggle open/close of ‘find in page’ with the same hotkey…” a setting (VB-112998)
I am glad I was so vocal about this and just want to say THANK YOU.
It's been 4 weeks and I still find myself pressing Ctrl+F for this (which is how I realised it's back to the old behaviour).

Yep. What was wrong with the previous feature? Shouldn't you be focusing on the ad-blocker currently? I mean if you really are going to make it to have the same features as ublock origin (really?!), it means A LOT of work. There's only few months left.
@ Vivaldi team: is the new "omnibox" going to have configuration like the old one? Are we able to select what to show in the future?
-
@Pathduck I sent you a personal message

I like the new omnibox, it gives better results for me then the previous address bar, which sometimes prioritized less frequent urls from history over more frequent ones. Thanks for your work on this marvelous browser.
-
How do I access typed urls? I use them all the time. If I wanted to use omnibox I would have used Chrome, Old style address bar was the reason I used Vivaldi. This new omnibox needs to add support for drop down list for typed urls.
-
@saudiqbal Open
vivalsdi:experiments
, enable "Disable Chromium Omnibox" and restart. -
The missing dropdown for typed urls is a bug simple as that, and will probably be fixed in the next or an upcoming Snap.
I don't like the Omnibox either.
But remember - we are Snapshot testers.
Our task is to give as much constructive feedback as possible on the new feature and report bugs where we can find them.The impression I get is they're not backing down from this change And if all Snapshot testers disable the Omnibox they won't get the needed feedback.
-
When I use Vivaldi I don't use the omnibox, so much I care
. Btw what is so bad and different, looks good to me, the url has a different color -the "highlight" one from the Theme-, yay (was it always like that?). /hides.
-
I do really like the new Omnibox, great work guys but I found something that I don't completely understand.
Based on this omnibox tool, should the suggestions be sorted by relevance ? In my case, for some reason the
Search Suggestions
go over theHistory
items even though they have much less relevance

Well, the new "omnibox" removed this completely:
There's no ability to choose what the address bar drop down shows anymore with omnibox.

Hey, I just updated Vivaldi Snapshot and the change for the autocomplete and drop-down suggestions is a huge regression for me. Vivaldi 7.0's drop-down suggestions worked better for me. Please bring back the old drop-down suggestions, or at least provide an option to re-enable it. Thank you!

Yes, and after testing it, better restore the old behaviour. End of test.

@iAN-CooG
This is a preview with many features missing and bugs, that's the reason to publish it.
If you don't want to test use stable, really.
I bet we get a new snapshot soon with more features, fixes. -
@iAN-CooG
Sorry, was a bit harsh but the team need feedback.
Not interested, disabled, is not.
I leave it enabled and use other install for serious work. -
@mib2berlin said in Better, faster results in the address field – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3592.3:

ehm, and my feedback is that the new "feature" is not my liking as it is so I disabled it to get back to normal behaviour. I'll wait for more fixes.
What else do you want me to say about it? -
@Tealing Oh, this sounds pretty grotesque lol... at least they haven't butchered it for Quick Commands (what I use), yet?
