Solved Vivaldi is not showing search suggestions in the address bar (Google provider)

karcyon

Doesn't work for me if I use Google Search. Suggestions work for Bing etc. just not for Google. (latest Snapshot on Windows)

Doesn't work for me either…
Bing suggestions are working, google not.

Using 1.2.490.39 () (32-bit) on Windows 10 x64

Known bug.

vivaldi://settings/search/
Edit your search engines, set "Suggest URL":

Google: https://www.google.com/complete/search?client=opera&q=%s
Youtube: https://www.google.ru/complete/search?hl=ru&ds=yt&output=firefox&q=%s
Yandex: https://suggest.yandex.ru/suggest-ya.cgi?v=4&part=%s
Nigma: http://cplt2.nigma.ru/complete/query_help.php?suggest=true&q=%s
Ru.Wikipedia: https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=%s
Google Images: https://www.google.com/complete/search?hl=ru&ds=i&output=firefox&q=%s

Same here. Used to work in the previous release; not working in 1.4.589.11.

Hasn't worked in basically, forever. Developers are still working on how to integrate it. The "suggest URL" entries as mentioned above work, but that functions differently from integrated search settings.

CJ.Dennis

@den_po Since the "Suggest URL" for Google is blank by default (still the case in 1.13.1008.36), yours is the only way to get it to work.

Ayespy

@cj-dennis Vivaldi is not permitted to fill that in, but you are. It's a licensing thing.

And for the record, the infamous client=opera is not needed:

https://www.google.com/complete/search?q=%s

works just fine.

I had an idea here... you know suggestion addresses of other sites?

Ayespy

@ozoratsubasa Suggest addresses of most search sites are known or discoverable.

The fixes in this thread did not help me. This fixed it for me:

Make sure Google is at top of search engines list in the left column in settings: search as in above image.

Settings (ALT + P)
Search (left column section)

URL (textbox, right side of page):
https://www.google.com/search?q=%s

Suggested URL (textbox, bottom):
https://www.google.com/complete/search?client=chrome&q=%s

Works for me now.
Good luck.

P.S.

Click the SAVE button at the bottom after entering the 2 URLs in Settings: Search

Can copy the 2 URL lines to a text editor to copy & paste to Vivaldi settings.

Very very thanks bro. Now I can use suggestions for google. But should I have to do this again n again if I had to reinstall Vivaldi?

Of course not, settings are kept during updates. Completely uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch are another matter tho, at that point you'll have to re-enter the google suggestion url yourself. Or use another default search engine which comes already with search suggestions.

@washere works great! thanks a lot! this feature is especially important for programmers because they need to see what relevant questions are the most popular! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

For the record, this address isn't working. You need to fill the client parameter with one Google considers valid. I suggest this one as it's the most neutral (won't use/support/depend on any other company besides Google which you're using anyway).

@den_po It actually worked thanks

@den_po Still the only bypass to Vivaldi's stupid unsuggesting address bar and still one of the only things I dislike about it. Thank you so much.
